We All Looked Up by Tommy Wallach

3.0

We All Looked Up is the story of four teenagers and what each does when faced with the possible end of the world. A meteor is headed for the earth and there is a 60% chance of impact, which would kill everyone. All four of the teens must cope with this impending doom in his/her own way. Whether it is to tie up family relationships, party hard, or find love, each character has an interesting struggle that he/she must face in light of the bad news. I liked that the novel seemed realistic, not dystopian or supernatural. Events progress how I think they really world if we were in the situation. I listened to this one on audio and was completely captivated until about 3/4 of the way through. At this point, the story just got strangely melodramatic and cliche and fell apart for me. It came back together at the end, but my attention was already compromised.
