Synopsis

Specially adapted for audio by the author.

Fleabag meets I Am Legend in this extraordinary novel of one woman's survival in the face of the end of the world. Who will she be now that she is completely alone?

THE END OF EVERYTHING WAS HER BEGINNING

It's November 2022. The human race has been wiped out by the 6DM virus (Six Days Maximum - the longest you've got before your organs disintegrate and you melt from the inside out). The end of the world as we know it.

Yet someone is still alive. Alone in a new world of burning cities, rotting corpses and ravenous rats, one woman has survived. A woman who has spent her whole life compromising what she wants and hiding how she feels to meet other people's expectations. From her career to her relationships, to what she wears and where she lives, she's made a lifetime of decisions to fit what other people want her to be.

But with no one else left, who will she become now that she's completely alone?

Goodreads review by Ceecee on November 22, 2020

Andover, Kansas is now as famous as Wuhan as this is where the deadly virus 6DM (6 day maximum). It sweeps the world, there’s chaos, madness and devastation as the horrific virus sweeps all in its path. The UK holds out for a while but by 24 November 2023 it’s here. This is a dystopian novel but it......more

Goodreads review by Jennifer ~ TarHeelReader on July 02, 2021

See that gorgeous cover? Gosh, I love the pink and black together and the whole design. Inside it’s not a contemporary about a festive party in the city. Instead, it’s about a global pandemic happening in 2023. The virus is called 6DM, and you can only live with the virus for a maximum of six days.......more

Goodreads review by Anissa on February 18, 2022

I liked this unique take on a post-apocalyptic survivor's tale. The main character was a complete hot mess but I could not put this book down! Like truly, she got on my nerves but I had to know what would happen. There was a hugely predictable plot point that I figured out very early and it informed......more

Goodreads review by Justine on February 28, 2023

A surprisingly feel-good book, notwithstanding the dire premise and quite a large amount of bodily fluids, decay, and thoughtless decadence. Despite her being flighty and unable to think more than one minute ahead, I empathized with the woman whose journal is the subject of The Last One at the Party.......more

Goodreads review by Liz on December 11, 2020

Gosh I LOVED this book. I scurried through it in one sitting, couldn’t stop reading it for the life of me. Then at the end I cried because it was over. Look, its 2020, I can cry if I want to… Last One At The Party starts, yes, with an apocalyptic event, maybe you would think it a bit close to home gi......more

Quotes

I adored this book . . . It's about who you are with nobody to witness you, what it means to be human, and how to live (the answer is getting plastered in Harrod's, something we can all relate to) Gillian McAllister

Brilliant. Creepy, witty, laugh-out-loud and shudder-inducing

A fresh, frank, funny and surprisingly uplifting book about the end of the world Elizabeth Kay, author of Seven Lies

Finished this last night and haven't stopped thinking about it since! Possibly my fave read of 2020 - sharp, funny, emotional and a refreshingly different take on a post-apocalyptic world Lisa Hall

Really fun . . . like a dystopian Bridget Jones' Diary with echoes of Shaun of the Dead Kate Sawyer

Scary, emotional - and truly a novel for our times! The Sun

I haven't been so consumed by a book for a long time. This is a masterpiece of modern fiction, which I have raced through it in a few days. It has consumed my thoughts and will stay with me for a long time Sophie Cousens

This post-apocalyptic rollercoaster ride is full of belly-aching humour and the touching tale of a woman faced with the end of the world Magic FM Book Club

This dystopian novel is very funny, super-gory but a testament to the human spirit, which is also oddly life-affirming Red Magazine
