White Lotus meets Kevin Wilson in this whip-smart social satire about a man who finds himself trapped on an island resort after the sun literally explodes, and suddenly must choose whether to save himself from the chaos, or help fellow guests make it off the island alive… Vacation Checklist: Pack swim trunks. Apply sunscreen. Survive the apocalypse? Professional underachiever Dan Foster is finally taking a vacation. Sure, his life has been average at best, and yeah, he’s never quite lived up to his potential. But after a few Miller Lites in paradise with his girlfriend, Mara, things are starting to look up. Then the sun explodes. With the island resort suddenly plunged into darkness (he really should’ve sprung for the travel insurance), Dan’s holiday goes from bad to worse when elite guests stage a coup and commandeer supplies. As temperatures drop and class tensions rise, revolution begins to brew on the island, and Dan accidentally becomes a beacon of hope for the surviving vacationers. But when one six-person plane is discovered that could get them back to the mainland, Dan realizes he has a choice to make. Does he escape the island with Mara? Or does he stay and fight to become the most unlikely hero of the end of the world?

This was a fun campy apocalypse novel. Dan is on vacation in the Bahamas with his girlfriend. Unfortunately, the sun explodes and they are left in darkness. The people at the resort have to figure out what to do.
I didn’t know what to expect from start to finish. This is a good book for people who like cheesy comedy movies and for people who don’t like me. It was an easy audiobook to listen to. Thank you Netgalley and Recorded books for the chance to read the book. I recommend the audiobook. I had no issues with the voice actor or production. The book was easy to follow.
