Stark scenes alternating between anarchy and police states are counterbalanced by deepening emotional ties and ethical dilemmas, creating a novel that asks far bigger questions than it answers. Debut novelist Wallach increases the tension among characters throughout, ending in a shocking climax that resonates with religious symbolism. Rounding out the story's rotating voices are Anita, a straight-A student who just wants to sing, and Andy, a slacker who must decide where his loyalties lie and how to handle his dangerous friends. Eliza, a photographer with an unseemly reputation, negotiates her father's cancer diagnosis, her mother's abandonment, and the need to chronicle the chaos erupting around her, while finding herself drawn to Peter. Peter, a basketball golden boy, must decide if he should save his sister from her nihilistic boyfriend and whether true love is worth ignoring the status quo. As four Seattle teenagers count down the weeks until impact, they wrestle with the meaning of their lives and their possible deaths. This is a book that I could not put down, and one which I will definitely read again.An asteroid named Ardor is on course to destroy the world. Ive read comments from Wallach that he left it ambiguous for the reason that knowing if Ardor hit earth isnt the point of the novel.

Throughout the novel, I was rooting for the characters and hoping that they would survive to truly change their lives. I personally think that the astroid hit because it says that the asteroid continued on its fated path and there was a 66.6 chance that it would hit, meaning the fated path of the asteroid is onto eartg.

Although it is a book set in a Doomsday setting, it is still filled with hope. This book Oh my god, this book We All Looked Up is such a genius idea, the premise is fantastic and is so, so promising, but Wallach takes the story so much further than I expected It's so thought-provoking, and leads you through all these little epiphanies about how you live your life, and what you should be doing with it. We All Looked Up sounded interesting when I first picked it up, and I was not disappointed. Their paths cross more and more as time runs out, and they wonder what the point of labels really is. With only two months left to live, Perter, Eliza, Andy, and Anita are forced to reevaluate their lives. An asteroid appears with a 66.6 percent chance of hitting the Earth and killing all life. Their paths cross from time to time, but the labels that they have prevent them from looking farther. Peter, Eliza, Andy, and Anita all go to high school together. Set in Seattle, Washington, in what could be present day, this novel can appeal to all ages.
