“We’re all born, we all die. And every fucking thing that happens in between those moments matters.”

I expect all of my YA romance lovers to buy this book on July 11th. Go ahead and pre-order, add to cart, and mark it on your ever-growing TBR… because THIS is the summer romance adventure you need in your life.

Wren Wheeler is on a senior trip in London and nothing is going as it should. First a stomach bug, then her friend abandoning her for the company of others, and finally a chance encounter with The Prince of Wales! After helping the Prince escape paparazzi, he offers her a favor… one she won’t have time to use because she has a flight home to catch.
Before she can make it home though, world-shattered news drops. A comet is heading straight toward Earth, big enough to cause a mass extinction. Can she cash in her favor? Can the prince pull some strings to get her home?

Oh my gosh! Someone please contact a Netflix producer, because this would make a really fun, stressful and heartwarming movie.
Our characters try making the most out of this dreadful situation. A cross country road trip with a severe time crunch. Forced to face their mortality, while trying to live their last moments to the absolute fullest. I adored Wren and Theo! Couldn’t read their story fast enough.
This book has lots of tropes I love. Including: one bed, forced proximity, road trips, goody-two-shoes doing crime, and “lost” royalty.
Things I hate in this book: ambiguous ending! 😭 Someone send help, my emotions are all over the place.

If you can’t tell, I really enjoyed this read. Can’t wait to force my friends to read it.
