At the End of Everything

This is a post-2020 YA novel about a pandemic, featuring a juvenile residential treatment center (essentially juvenile detention but with one therapist). The kids are abandoned by the school staff and the government at the beginning of the pandemic. Split POV, multiple LGBTQIA+ characters, multiple neurodivergent characters, and the kids explicitly engage with race in their conversations (example: white nonverbal girl recognizes that she gets away with a lot more than her Black classmates)
