Good Morning, Midnight tells the story of the end of the world through the eyes of two people who are least equipped to know what happened. One, an old astronomer named Augustine chooses to stay behind at an arctic research station when everyone else evacuates. He's ready to settle in for the long haul and wait for his inevitable death until he finds a young girl hiding out in the lower levels. 
 The second narrator is an astronaut named Sully coming back from the first mission to Jupiter. She and her crewmates lose contact with earth and are dreading more and more the truth that awaits them when they return home. 
 I found myself a little perplexed at times about just how I was supposed to be reading the character of Augustine. He could be a sociopath in a very quiet way or maybe aromantic, but Brooks-Dalton never specifies. Both characters are somewhat cold detached people. Sometimes I found that detachment interesting, and sometimes i found it bewildering and hard to grasp or outright off-putting. Whatever the reasons, the two character's environments definitely suit them and the story itself. 
 I found some fault in the science behind the book, but it didn't bother me too much because that wasn't the focus of the story. This isn't an apocalypse book that's out to examine how any particular aspect of our society could lead to ruin. Instead, it delves into ideas of individuality and loneliness in some interesting ways. It asks, at the end of the world, what is really important to you? Is going your own way worth losing what you leave behind?
