About this eBook

Four high school seniors put their hopes, hearts, and humanity on the line as an asteroid hurtles toward Earth in Tommy Wallach’s New York Times bestselling “stunning debut” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).

They always say that high school is the best time of your life.

Peter, the star basketball player at his school, is worried “they” might actually be right. Meanwhile Eliza can’t wait to escape Seattle—and her reputation—and perfect-on-paper Anita wonders if admission to Princeton is worth the price of abandoning her real dreams. Andy, for his part, doesn’t understand all the fuss about college and career—the future can wait.

Or can it? Because it turns out the future is hurtling through space with the potential to wipe out life on Earth. As these four seniors—along with the rest of the planet—wait to see what damage an asteroid will cause, they must abandon all thoughts of the future and decide how they’re going to spend what remains of the present.

Ratings and reviews

This is such a great book to have read! I enjoyed each of the characters persona. Especially the "Karass " thing.. man each one of them conquering and losing to such great obstacles. Will keep reading it over and over again.

First of all, I bought the physical book, so this is solely for the content. Second, don't read this book. It's not good.

It may just be me but I wasnt satisfied with the ending. The book was good other then the end.
