βπ¦π£π£πππ₯ππͺ βππππππ What are you reading right now? How are you liking it? Agnes at the End of the World by @kellymmcwilliams has been on my radar since it came out in June and I am absolutely loving the first few chapters. You need to pick this book up if you love cults or an imminent apocolypse. Thank you @probooknerds for giving me the push I needed to actually pick this one up! SYNOPSIS Agnes loves her home of Red Creek -- its quiet, sunny mornings, its dusty roads, and its God. There, she cares tirelessly for her younger siblings and follows the town's strict laws. What she doesn't know is that Red Creek is a cult, controlled by a madman who calls himself a prophet. Then Agnes meets Danny, an Outsider boy, and begins to question what is and isn't a sin. Her younger brother, Ezekiel, will die without the insulin she barters for once a month, even though medicine is considered outlawed. Is she a sinner for saving him? Is her sister, Beth, a sinner for dreaming of the world beyond Red Creek? As the Prophet grows more dangerous, Agnes realizes she must escape with Ezekiel and leave everyone else, including Beth, behind. But it isn't safe Outside, either: A viral pandemic is burning through the population at a terrifying rate. As Agnes ventures forth, a mysterious connection grows between her and the Virus. But in a world where faith, miracles, and cruelty have long been indistinguishable, will Agnes be able to choose between saving her family and saving the world? #yadebut #debutnovel #yacontemporary #cults #apocolypticfiction #currentlyreading #reading #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookishalgor #bookishalgorithm https://www.instagram.com/p/CHeH804gAcg/?igshid=1waizqi6d9p1k
