We All Looked Up by Tommy Wallach
1.0
I read the negative reviews, but I still held out hope for this one. I loved the idea of teenagers realizing that they need to live like they're about to die, which, essentially, is the plot.
I was woefully disappointed.
The idea of stereotypes was present from the beginning of the synopsis, but I didn't expect for it to be that strong. And really? The most cliche stereotypes of all? And so much slut-shaming?
I didn't find any of the characters to be likable whatsoever. Peter annoyed the crap out of me, even besides hating a teacher for a giving him a wakeup call, but he was a cheater and allowed Eliza to have the reputation she did. I didn't get a chance to finish her chapter, but I just found her to be extremely boring.
Great idea, poor execution.
