Boy gets abducted by aliens and has the choice to stop the apocalypses.
But this book is so much more than science fiction, actually,

the aliens are just a metaphor for depression

It’s a book about mental health, dealing with depression, suicide and death in general. 
The beginning was interesting but towards the middle it got a tiny bit boring but the ending was great but kinda predictable just like some of the plot.
IMO it’s kinda a mix of the perks of being a wallflower and Aristotle and Dante discover the secrets of the universe.
Would recommend to every teenager but check the trigger warnings !

Good book, but a little misleadingly labelled as it’s mostly not sci-fi at all.

If the world was ending, would you save it? This book touched me in a deep way and I wasn’t expecting it to. All the characters were deeply flawed but there was something to love about them in the end (except for the brother, screw him!) At times I was overwhelmed by how dark and raw the feelings could be, but I’m glad the characters took me there. Cathartic, optimistic and just so beautiful!
