julitaf 's review for:

We All Looked Up by Tommy Wallach

4.0

---

at first, I couldn't get into this book. it was a little boring and kind of cliché. but, I stuck with it and (thanks to an 11 hour car ride) finished it in one sitting. it got a lot better after the first 1/3 of the book and I ended up enjoying it. it got a little bit deeper than I expected it to, and went in a different direction than I expected, but it worked. it made me laugh and cry, which is all I can really ask for. it was a pretty good read and had a few life lessons hidden in there. the ending makes me want to tear my hair out (in a good way). overall, I enjoyed this book! if you're looking for a contemporary book that's more than just thoughtless drama, with the threat of the end of the world coming, this book is for you.
