A review by olliepop_
We All Looked Up by Tommy Wallach

5.0

Okay so a lot of people here do NOT like this book and I was not expecting that. I finished reading it and it’s become my new favorite book. I came here to write this review and all of the top reviews are one star and people HATE IT??? Their reasoning is valid, but this is my favorite book because of the way it’s changed my perspective. I subscribe to the ideology of absurdism, and the characters coming to term with the inherent meaninglessness of life but still becoming content with it and accepting their existence as it existed was such an amazing thing for me. I stress about the future so horribly, forgetting to live in the present moment. This is reminding me to continue in my life without letting the future overrun it, because the future may not ever come.
