It s a dark prediction, but Beatrice Jordan never really believed in true love anyway. So, no harm done. She s accepted her lot in life: living in Los Angeles as an artist, not letting herself get too attached to anyone. It s not perfect, but nothing is. Until fate intervenes.

It s a simple personal ad: I am seeking a friend for the end of the world… Eleven little words that change Beatrice s life irrevocably. Because they lead her to Jacob Grace, an unpredictable writer looking for something he can t name.

Both of their worlds shift that day and what follows is a love story unlike any other; brimming with creativity and passion, as two lost souls find themselves in each other. From hole-in-the-wall record stores to late night phone calls, together, Beatrice and Jacob transcend the loneliness of their lives. But dark realities and secrets soon rise to the surface, as does Beatrice s fear of an inescapable fate.

Despite it all, this is a story of real love: the kind that breaks you and remakes you, the kind that changes you forever. The kind of love worth having, even if it s short lived, even if you know you might lose it.

God-Shaped Hole will change you as a reader, writer and human. It is rare books like this one that remind me why I fell in love with the written word. –Colleen Hoover
