The Prince & the Apocalypse by Kara McDowellMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I was provided an ARC of this book via Netgalley, all opinions are my own.
This was really cute. This follows Wren, a highly organized over planner on a senior trip abroad to London. She has planned this trip so well that even her itinerary has an itinerary. The moment her flight lands, her plans are shot. Her friends have been able to experience England while she ends up stuck in her hotel room ill for most of the week. On her last day, she is finally feeling better and has one more item on her list that she might actually be able to check off. Even that doesn't go as planned. Wren ends up running into the missing Crown Prince and saving him from the paparazzi. He is grateful for the help and offers her a favor if she ever needs one. Wren ends up missing her flight home and is stranded in the airport when news of the impending apocalypse breaks. She calls in her favor to Theo in the hopes that he and the royal family might be able to pulls some strings to get her home before the world ends. Again things do not go according to plan.
I really loved going on this adventure with Wren and Theo. There were alot of discussions about being worthy, vulnerability, and being free to make your own choices. While they both had their own agendas, at the end of the day they were both on a journey of self discovery and grew up alot in the last 10 days of Earth's existence. There put themselves in some unlikely situations, but that made it all the more fun.
This is perfect for YA readers who want a fun dystopian story that stays hopeful and has a bit of romance.
