We All Looked Up by Tommy Wallach
3.0

A possibly devastating asteroid is headed for Earth in the next few weeks, if it hits, all humans will be dead. Anita, the brain, Andy, the stoner, Eliza, the outcast, and Peter, the jock all examine their lives and begin living in the moment. Anita has always been on the path of following her parent's expectations, but she decides to follow her true dream of singing for the possible last few weeks on Earth. Andy has never cared about anything and his mother and her new husband take very little interest in him. Andy has decided to find a girl before the end, while also imbibing on many different substances. Eliza and Peter have always been drawn to each other, but last year when he kissed her and was caught by his girlfriend's friend, Eliza was bullied mercilessly. All four characters' lives intertwine with each working to live to their fullest dream.

I had a great time with this book. I found the characters funny and unique. While the sci-fi aspect was corny, I still had fun with this book. Things get bloody and the ending was not exactly what I would have chosen, but it felt like an interesting mix of realistic fiction and apocalypse.
