Living in what was once an exotic pet shop with a bathtub for a bed, Hope is anything but average. For each member of her family, the onset of puberty has brought with it a prophetic vision of the end of the world, which invariably tips the expectant prophet over the edge when the armageddon fails to materialise. So far, Hope has not yet started her period or received her revelation. Instead, she picks a date at random, has it 'confirmed' by the best-before date on a batch of ramen noodles, and begins to wait for the worst. In the meantime, Micky is falling helplessly in love. But will he risk losing his soulmate if he confesses how he feels? And what kind of future can you have with someone who believes that doomsday looms? Moving between Canada and Japan, between solid ground and flights of the surreal, Apocalypse for Beginners is the lovely, surprising story of two people travelling from friendship to romance, and from separation to the possibility<
