First of all, I have a lot of people at HarperCollins to thank for ARC access to this title. I am on the HarperCollins Canada influencer list and attended an online YA preview event in December 2020, which is when I heard about this book. Everything about it excited me! From the title and cover…

I joined the HarperCollins Canada influencer program just in the nick of time to be sent the Fall 2020 YA catalogue links for Edelweiss and this was the only title I really wanted, but as I was brand new to Edelweiss and had no stats to back myself up, and whoever was doing approvals clearly…

Thank you to Marisol Folks and the HarperCollins Canada Influencer program for NetGalley access to the eARC of One of the Good Ones by Maika & Maritza Moulite.

If you knew the world was going to end tomorrow, what would you do? This is the question that haunts Amina as she watches new and horrible stories of discord and crisis flash across the news every day. But when she starts at prestigious Gardner Academy, Amina finds a group of like-minded peers to join forces with—fast friends who dedicate their year to learning survival skills from each other, before it’s too late. Still, as their prepper knowledge multiplies, so do their regular high school problems, from relationship drama to family issues to friend blow-ups. Juggling the two parts of their lives forces Amina to ask another vital question: Is it worth living in the hypothetical future if it’s at the expense of your actual present?
