The Last Boy and Girl in the World Summary

The Last Boy and Girl in the World by Siobhan Vivian

From the critically acclaimed author of The List comes a transcendent love story (Stephen Chbosky, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Perks of Being a Wallflower) about a girl who must say goodbye to everything she knows after a storm wreaks havoc on her hometown.

What if your town was sliding underwater and everyone was ordered to pack up and leave? How would you and your friends spend your last days together?

While the adults plan for the future, box up their possessions, and find new places to live, Keeley Hewitt and her friends decide to go out with a bang. There are parties in abandoned houses. Canoe races down Main Street. The goal is to make the most of every minute they still have together.

And for Keeley, that means taking one last shot at the boy she's loved forever.

There's a weird sort of bravery that comes from knowing there's nothing left to lose. You might do things you normally wouldn't. Or say things you shouldn't. The reward almost always outweighs the risk.

Almost.

It's the end of Aberdeen, but the beginning of Keeley's first love story. It just might not turn out the way she thought. Because it's not always clear what's worth fighting for and what is best left to become a memory.

The Last Boy and Girl in the World Reviews

A transcendent love story, as profoundly moving as it is fun. This is Siobhan Vivian's finest hour. * Stephen Chbosky, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Perks of Being a Wallflower *
*Keeley is a realistically flawed heroine, and Vivian allows readers to feel intimately connected to the depth of her regret and her urgent need to reconnect with pieces of her past. * Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW *
*Vivian draws readers into [this] story effortlessly. * VOYA, Starred Review *
[A] richly layered portrayal of bad boys, girl pranksters, even conspiracies. * Kirkus Reviews *
Vivian's fans won't be disappointed with this savvy chronicle of a girl finding herself amid the wreckage of her past. * School Library Journal *
At its core, this is a love story-romantic, familial, and, above all, friend-to-friend-with a unique hook. Keeley, though brash, is a relatable heroine who will speak to teens facing their own times of transition. * Booklist *
