About this book
Does your biggest, most monumentally dishonorable mistake even count if you wake up the next morning to the collapse of the world as you know it?
Aurelia Verdugo is soft. She has bad vision, juggles multiple jobs to get by, has a roomfull of to-be-finished art projects, and she can't make a decision to save her life. Which is exactly what she needs to do. Trapped in Seattle as a mysterious illness spreads, she knows she needs to get out, but she's frozen with indecision and fear. The only thing that helps is to imagine what the most competent person she knows would do. That person just happens to be her roommate's boyfriend, Theo. She's going to journey to safety, with no friends, no family, a pair of backless slippers on her feet, and nowhere to go but the idea of a fully stocked A-frame cabin in the Olympic Mountains, Aurelia sets off.
Content Warning: This book is set in a gritty world at the onset of a plague and eventual cataclysmic decline of society as we know it. There is widespread death and mild violence. There are fears of SA, stalking, cheating, and explicit sex. Read with caution.
