For starters, I had really high hopes for this book. The cover seemed to be in line with something up my alley, and the synopsis was very interesting.
This book was written in 3rd person point-of-view and it followed the stories of 4 teens in the face of an impending asteroid. Intense, I know. At the beginning, these people had very loose connections to each other. As it progresses and emotions run high, it becomes clear why these 4 characters' lives would eventually cross. I am usually not one for 3rd person writing, but I see why it makes so much sense in this story.
This book gives a realistic insight, I think, into the reactions of these 4 types of people, and their friend groups, in a situation like this.
There's lots of history, drama, love, and caring within all of these characters. Which only gives the book that much more depth.
In the end, though, I struggled to maintain interest for a consistent period of time. It may have been the amount of action going on, or the fact that this theme at this scale is something new to me.
Either way, it was a good book.
I actually really enjoyed this read! I felt like the characters were done really well and realistic. It did portray teenagers badly which bothered me a bit, but I didn't mind the romantic drama at all. Can't wait to start reading his second novel!
