Everything You Need to Survive the Apocalypse by Lucas Klauss

     About the book: Phillip's sophomore year is off to a rough start. One of his best friends ditches him for a group of douchebags. His track coach singles him out for personalized, torturous training sessions. And his dad decides to clean out all of the emergency supplies from the basement, even though the world could end in disaster at any moment... and even though those supplies are all Phillip has left of his dead mom. Not that he wants to talk about that.
     But then Phillip meets Rebekah. Not only is she unconventionally hot and smart, but she has seriously great boobs. And she might like him back.
     As Phillip gets closer to Rebekah, he tries harder and harder to turn himself into the kind of person he thinks she wants him to be. But the question is, can he become that person? And does he really want to?

     My thoughts and opinion: This book has got to be one of the few books that make me want to burn it and pour the ashes in a toilet. However, I managed to finish reading the book without murdering it. It took a long time... because seriously? I hate all but one character. Amanda. I ONLY love Amanda. She's so nice and friendly and she makes no effort at all being that. Like Amanda was born to be nice and good and not dumb like the other characters. UGH.
     I think Phillip and Rebekah had the worst relationship I've ever read in a book. Hahaha. Throughout the book, I kept shouting for one of them to break up with the other. Rebekah is moody and she gets angry pretty easily. Phillip is awkward and he is shy.
     Asher doesn't help them by asking Rebekah out and trying to steal her from Phillip.
     That was a jerk move.
     Anyway, I like the parts or actually the ending when Phillip realizes he doesn't believe in all that religious stuff and he leaves the Summit. That was a very nice touch to the frustrating book.
     And Mark. I cannot tell you guys how much I hate Mark and Devin and Asher. I also hate Phillip and Rebekah, but that's a different hate. That's like a feeling hate. Mark, Asher, and Devin all need punches; I hate them violently.
     Everything You Need to Survive the Apocalypse was quite difficult to swallow because of all that religious allusions and I'm not a big believer in that...area. So I was kind of lost in the book. Lost like confused. It would've been a good book; I just hated ninety-nine percent of the characters.
