About this audiobook
The predicted Rapture by Pastor Frick’s Church of America has come and gone, and three thousand Believers are now missing or dead. Seventeen-year-old Vivian Apple and her best friend, Harpreet, are revolutionaries, determined to expose the Church’s diabolical power grab...and to locate Viv’s missing heartthrob, Peter Ivey.
This fast-paced, entertaining sequel to Vivian Apple at the End of the World challenges readers to consider how to live with integrity in a disintegrating world.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Oh Vivian...so much to do, so little time...until the apocalypse. Or is there? Is it coming? What about Frick? What about the "angels" of the church? Will Viv and Harp save the world?
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5We've reached the end of the Church of America story, I guess, but I want to see the fallout. When you have an organization this large and powerful, with tentacles in every aspect of society and government and it takes a fall, there are bound to be serious repercussions and that's a story I want to read. Do people embrace Edie to fill the hole left by Frick? Do the high-ranking members of the Church seek retribution? Does Goliath go completely around the bend and start hunting down those who "abandoned" him? What's up with all the natural disasters? Is the end of the world really nigh? This is my chief frustration with dystopian/post-apocalyptic YA (which this isn't, really, but employs a lot of the same tropes): Once the Evil Overlord/Corrupt Government/Fascistic Society/other Big Bad is toppled, nobody shows the fallout. Are we supposed to believe that our heroes go riding off into the sunset on unicorns and all is rainbows and kittens and hearts and flowers forevermore? No. I'm sorry, that's just not realistic. There should be consequences. SHOW ME THE CONSEQUENCES.
Sorry. That just turned into a general rant, rather than a criticism of this book in particular. It certainly applies here, but this is far from the first and is not likely to be the last book that has this problem. I guess this duology just had the misfortune of being the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back. I really liked it--I liked the story and the characters and that it didn't shy away from the ugly reality of trying to fight "The Man"--but, in the end, too much was left unanswered and it left me frustrated.
