This book was both utterly ridiculous, and completely heartbreaking. A comet is going to hit the earth in 8 days, and all Wren wants is to get home from London to the US so she can say goodbye to her family before all life on earth is wiped out. She falls in with the runaway British crown prince and they roadtrip across Europe to reach a private jet in Greece. The entire premise is bonkers, and it took me a bit to go with the flow, but once I did, I thoroughly enjoyed it. There's also some really good discussion of depression, privilege, classism, and human nature. The ending made me scream with rage/joy, and I really hope there's a sequel!
