We All Looked Up by Tommy Wallach

3.0

---

I am between 3 and 4 stars on this one. YA books are just not my favorite. I want something with more detail and that smoothly tells a story instead of having the reader assume a lot. I also like characters with a lot more depth. However, for a YA book, this isn't too bad. You have the classic, stereotyped teenagers discovering themselves. I was amazed at how much the characters drank, smoked, did drugs, and had sex though....and the drama of the fight over Eliza which wasn't really that big of a deal in the end. The idea of the end of the world (or part of it, or none of it) was interesting though.
