Groundhog Day meets Ling Ma's Severance in this "brilliant"
(PopSugar) and "exhilarating" (The Millions) comedic novel about
two young women trying to save their friendship as the world
collapses around them. Bertie and Kate have been best friends since
high school. Bertie is a semi-failed cartoonist, working for a
prominent Silicon Valley tech firm. Her job depresses her, but not
as much as the fact that Kate has recently decided to move from San
Francisco to Los Angeles. When Bertie's attempts to make Kate stay
fail, she suggests the next best thing: a trip to Paris that will
hopefully distract the duo from their upcoming separation. The
vacation is also a sort of last hurrah, coming during the ceasefire
in a series of escalating world conflicts. One night in Paris, they
meet a strange man in a bar who offers them a private tour of the
Louvre. The women find themselves alone in the museum, where
nothing is quite as it seems. Caught up in a day that keeps
repeating itself, Bertie and Kate are eventually separated, and
Bertie is faced with a mystery that threatens to derail everything.
In order to make her way back to Kate, Bertie has to figure out how
much control she has over her future--and her past--and how to
survive in an apocalypse when the world keeps refusing to end.
