Enter the GoodReads giveaway for Jane and Dan at the End of the World by Colleen Oakley. When Jane and Dan secure dinner reservations at the prestigious and costly La Fin du Monde, Jane decides it’s the perfect moment to tell Dan she wants a divorce. A mother of two, she feels unnecessary to her teenagers, her writing career has stalled, and her only published novel sold fewer than five hundred copies. To make matters worse, she suspects Dan is cheating. Before the second course arrives, however, an activist group storms the dining room. Jane is stunned, not only because she’s suddenly in a hostage situation, but because nearly everything the clumsy activists say and do mirrors scenes from her failed novel. Even Dan, whom she doubted had ever read it, admits the resemblance is uncanny. That means Jane and Dan can anticipate what will happen next, and they’re the only ones who can stop it. This isn’t what Jane imagined when she vowed “’til death do us part,” but if they can survive this ordeal, they might just be able to survive marriage too.
