Here's a thread of reviews of #EndOfEverythingBook -- because they've honestly all been really fantastic and it makes me SO HAPPY to see how much people are enjoying my book now that it's officially out there in the world! ✨📚✨

"'The End of Everything' is a pleasure. Mack’s style is personal and often funny ... I found it helpful — not reassuring, certainly, but mind-expanding — to be reminded of our place in a vast cosmos." -@nytimesbooks

"Mack’s account mixes a sense of reverence for the wonders of physics with an irreverent sense of humor and a disarming dose of candor.... Reading Mack’s prose feels like learning physics from a brilliant, quirky friend." -@ScienceNews
