Synopsis

Rarely has an Evangelical upbringing been depicted with the relentless honesty, wide-ranging empathy, and Superbad-meets-Siddhartha playfulness of USA Today best-seller HELL IS A WORLD WITHOUT YOU. During the time of Pizza Hut buffets, 9/11, and all-night Mario Kart parties, a grieving teenager faces a mortal crossroads: fire-and-brimstone certainty vs. forbidden love. And whether or not you’ve ever begged God to delay the Rapture (so you could have time to lose your virginity), that kid’s story is about you.“Meticulous. Sublime. Hilarious. Endearing. Get it.” — Kirkus Reviews“Brutal honesty. Laugh-out-loud. Poignant.” — Publishers Weekly“Joyous. Taboo-shirking. Searing honesty. Wonderful novel.” — Independent Book Review, Starred review“A miracle. Makes an insular culture universal.” — Book and Film Globe“Painfully, beautifully true.” — Columbia Daily Tribune“Thank you to Jason Kirk.” — The Trevor Project, after the author donated $50,000 in preorder royalties to the LGBTQ charityThis audiobook is narrated by the author, a New York Times Company sports editor and longtime co-host of two popular podcasts, the Shutdown Fullcast and Vacation Bible School Podcast.

I was hoping to find a way to review this book in a way that didn't instantly devolve into me talking about myself, but that doesn't seem possible. So let's start here: This book is wonderful. Literally everyone should read it. It doesn'......more

Goodreads review by Justin on May 12, 2024

"You're supposed to love yourself." It felt like vomit rising. I went in skeptical expecting something YA-y and unpolished and tedious. I could say how my mind was changed about 200 pages in because Hell Is a World Without You made me weep but that's none of your business and I don't want to talk abou......more

Goodreads review by Josh on December 31, 2023

This book is Derry Girls for American Evangelicalism- written with love, Jason invites those who know the world and those who don't to sit with the good (and there's a lot of good, mostly in the friendships across what would normally be social boundaries. Also the music) and the bad (most of the res......more
