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. That's a great idea.An asteroid named Ardor is on course to destroy the world. Ponder.Īnd the philosophy/Todd/world building scene. They talk about things you'd always thought about, but that you didn't think anyone else had thought about." () I love books. "The best books, they don't talk about things you never thought about before. There are two things I want to bring to your attention. The topics this book gives rise to spark a fire in my heart. I don't think the book itself was amazing. It might not be how I would leave this world. For a book with little anything, the ending was too much. What did they do together to have a basis for a relationship? And Peter and Eliza is worse. There might be a reason for Anita and Andy. And there was no rhyme or reason for any of them. You don't need to have sex one last time. Why pair up? Why not just… not? You don't need love in your last days. Why does everyone have to pair off? Seriously. Maybe if there was something about the riots. I feel like there could have been more plot. The Stacey slut thing (even if that happened before the book). But I would warily watch him to see what craziness he does next. I think Andy is one of the best characters as he has a backstory. Sure, he dumps Stacey, but what else does he do? Cook and clean at Friendly Forks? Anything else? I don't think he did much. He just doesn't seem to fit in with the other characters. Almost all the characters are (except Peter). (Or tried to make it look like she was embracing it.) I think that's great. But being with Andy? Not something I like.Įliza is interesting. And Anita's fantastic character kinda spirals. Then she wants to cry and sing and laugh. A little diversity! I like that she seems so perfect on the outside. (I'm brought back to The Way We Bared Our Souls… Those were some amazing characters.) Anita is just okay. I'd rather not examine my life sometimes. Is it worth it? And that's why I like and dislike thinking books. An asteroid as in WALU? A plague? A chemical explosion? You don't know. But what isn't a fact is HOW the world will end. Why? Books like We All Looked Up put life in perspective. Loving and living to the maximum.Īll in wait for the end of the world. The teens are coming to terms with the truth of their humanity. The book is about some teenagers who are living life to the fullest in the wake of the coming asteroid. 'We All Looked Up' is a book about life and love. What's stopping you from doing what you want to do? What do you do? Sing? Run away? Start a party? All great options.
