Etiquette for the End of the World
(eBook)
Description
From the author of The Art of Mingling comes a witty romantic comedy about endings…and new beginnings RULE #1: DON'T PANIC-IT ONLY ATTRACTS SHARKS It's not the end of the world. That's what depressed, 39-year-old Tess Eliot has to remind herself after losing her newspaper column and being dumped by her boyfriend for a younger woman (a feng shui expert? Really?) But when Tess gets hired by a wacky cult to write an etiquette guide to prepare for what the cult believes is imminent global catastrophe, she begins to ask herself: "Wait-could the world actually be coming to an end?" At first, Tess fakes her way through chapters like "Boundaries in the Bunker" and "Cannibalism: Yes or No?" Then she uncovers what appears to be a bona fide plot for world destruction, and she embarks on a life-changing odyssey-involving all-too-close encounters with touchy-feely survivalists and conspiracy theorists, and one handsome guy who seems way too perfect. Filled with wit and insight (including the "Twelve Rules to Live and Die By"), Etiquette for the End of the World is laugh-out-loud fun, with surprising life lessons along the way.
