Vivian Apple Needs a Miracle, by Katie Coyle From School Library Journal Gr 9 Up—With the rapture predicted by the Church of America having passed, Vivian and Harpreet are two of the few who know the truth: that the rapture was staged and the believers who were chosen are either missing or dead. Can they stop Pastor Frick and the church's mad grab for power and control over society? Or will this rapture really be the beginning of the end. Vivian and Harpreet are idealistic teens who will stop at nothing to reveal the truth in this sequel to Vivian Apple at the End of the World (HMH, 2015). The characters are well rounded and believable and represent multiple personalities and ideologies. The plot is fast paced but difficult to follow for newcomers to the series. Religion—the lack of faith or unwavering belief in it—is a central component to the story line. Readers will be questioning their own belief systems and asking themselves just how far they would go to uncover the truth. Fans of the first volume will want to read this thought-provoking continuation. VERDICT A great addition to YA collections.—Elizabeth Speer, Weatherford College, Weatherford, TX
Review "Like its prequel, Katie Coyle's ostensibly YA novel Vivian Apple Needs a Miracle examines pretty heavy themes — spirituality, faith, love, and how doing the right thing can be really hard, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't do it."—Cosmopolitan “An utterly chilling look at what happens when a dying world so desperately wants to believe in anything to survive.”—MTV.com "The characters are well rounded and believable and represent multiple personalities and ideologies...Readers will be questioning their own belief systems and asking themselves just how far they would go to uncover the truth."—School Library Journal "Coyle adeptly handles an exceptionally multifaceted plot, easily seguing from snarky social criticism to heart-pounding action to stomach-fluttering romance, creating a breathless whirlwind that keeps the pages fying until the very end. A distinctive, complex, and thoughtful page-turner certain to leave readers clamoring for more."—Kirkus "Unpredictable and unique, this book wil leave readers in awe, aspiring to be as brave and graceful as Vivian Apple herself."—VOYA, Teen Reviewer "Nonstop twists and breathless action flirt with crossing the line into absurdity, but that's just part of this sequel's appeal. Fans shouldn't hesitate to continue Viv's quest along with her, and they'll be satisfied with how her mission to save humanity from fear-fueled delusion plays out."—Horn Book Magazine "As before, Coyle takes an intriguing premise, covers it with questions of faith and loyalty, adds a gallon of cynicism, and keeps it moving...Along with the questions about religion and consumerism that are in the forefront of the girls' quest, tucked away are important insights about human nature."—Booklist * "Coyle dials back the urgency of her debut, adopting a more languid pace while still delivering plenty of action...As Vivian and harp attempt to solve the mystery of the faked Rapture in an effort to expose the Church as a fraud, Coyle again offers searing commentary on present-day religiosity and consumerism."—Publishers Weekly, starred review

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Odd girls out By E.M. Bristol Vivian Apple and her friend Harp are currently on the run, after confronting the heads of the charismatic Church of America that has a stranglehold on every aspect of American life in this dystopian novel. Since they've lost their car, most of their possessions and Vivian has sprained her hand, they seek refuge in San Francisco with Vivian's half-sister, Winnie, who has joined a radical militia movement to take down the Church, as well. The movement is headed by Amanda, a tech whiz who is now paralyzed from the waist down due to the Church, and who is eager to take violent revenge. The girls' parents are either dead or missing in action, so there's no help to be found there. Though Vivian and Harp are somewhat grudgingly allowed to stay with the rebels, they decide to take action independently: mainly sneaking into the Church compound to see Vivian's boyfriend, now a charismatic spokesman for the enemy and their friend, Dylan, the former boyfriend of Harp's brother, who's also turned pro-Church. The girls decide to publicize their knowledge via blog, and also hope to derail the rebels' plans to bomb the compound, but will they be able to do so before the apocalypse?The new reader is introduced to a dizzying array of plots and subplots about the upcoming Rapture and the New Orphans, Magdelening, the Angels, the New Messiah and for all I know, the man from Mars who likes eating cars because I stopped trying to keep up with everything that was already established in the first book. If you've already read the prequel, however, this won't faze you. However, there is minimal character development of both the primary and secondary characters in this one. Many new characters are introduced, several of which I would have liked to meet in more detail. The action seemed to follow a cycle of confront/back off/make out/escape. The subject of religious extremism would seem to be an easy one to parody, but there isn't much humor to be found here. This is the second book in a series, though, so perhaps things will change in the next one.

A Sequel That Lives Up to the First Book By Erin (The Hardcover Lover) FTC Disclaimer: I received a free galley (ARC) of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This did not affect my opinion in any way.Vivian Apple Needs a Miracle picks up right where Vivian Apple at the End of the World left off. Viv and Harp are now in San Fransisco, Viv has met her older-half sister, and she's just realized that her mother in in fact, alive. It's a lot for a seventeen-year-old to handle, but what happens next really messes with Viv and Harp. The two teenagers aren't just teenage runaways now; they are considered fugitives, and the Church will stop at nothing to find them.So does Vivian Apple Needs a Miracle live up to Vivian Apple at the End of the World? I'd say yes! It's just as fresh and strange as the first book because The Church of America is still going strong, and it's up to Viv and Harp to stop them. There's a little bit of everything in this book - flirting, romance, familial bonds, crisis, anarchy, and death. There's also a lot of action in this book, and I could see readers of series like Veronica Roth's Divergent devouring it.Yes! Some of your favorite characters from the first book are back. And some of your least favorite characters from the first book are back, but Coyle also introduces readers to a lot of new characters in Vivian Apple Needs a Miracle. There are two new groups readers will be meeting during this book, and yes... a lot of new names! I won't lie to you and say that I was able to remember all of them, but for the most part, Coyle does a good job at keeping all of the new and old characters in the book and updating readers on the events going on with them while Viv and Harp come up with a plan to take down the Church of America.So if you're looking for something different to read this fall, reach for Vivian Apple Needs a Miracle or Vivian Apple Versus America if you're in the UK. It's definitely not a book I would have read on my own if it weren't for receiving an ARC of the first book, but its action-packed sequences and real human emotions had me hooked. I'd recommend it to anyone interested in learning about the histories of religions or fans of science fiction and dystopian novels.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A Solid Follow Up By OutlawPoet First of all, I really think you need to read the first book before this one. If you haven't, you might find yourself lost. Just about all the world building was done in book one.Now, this is a nice follow up to the first book. We rejoin all our favorite characters and add a couple not-so-favorites into the mix. Note that this one isn't so much about the rapture. It's more about getting the truth out there. There's some danger, a little mystery, and a little more from the Book of Frick.For me, Vivian wasn't very exciting in this one. She was overshadowed by her best friend Harp. I found I wanted a lot more Harp and a lot less Vivian.But over all, it was an entertaining book. Just missing a little oomph!(By the way, there's a great tease about an astronomical anomaly that is NEVER explored. It's a shame because it would have been an exciting thread to follow. Maybe in another book?)
