This was pretty good! I almost didn't read it. It's sort of a coming-of-age story, but it doesn't have a romance, and I expected it to (and wasn't looking forward to it). Instead there's a gentle and sad friendship plot.
It's about accepting an imminent apocalypse, but it's calm and melancholy, not dark and violent. No violence at all, in fact.
