This book was fun and hooked me from the beginning. It really felt like there was an actual asteroid coming for Earth IRL. Definitely gives you a lot to think about regarding relationships, time, morals, etc.

I LOVED THIS BOOK!!!! It was amazing. I am very satisfied with what I learned from it and it left me thinking for like 3 hours about life. Seriously, really well written and thought of. I loved the fact that the author covered a very present topic mostly in teenage society.

Real winning was having the most to lose, even if it meant you might lose it all. Eventhough it meant you would lose it all, sooner or later.

Like the beginning of the book said:

you don’t win the game of life by losing the list, that would be a Pyrrhic victory.

UGH JUST AMAZING! The MUSIC OMG!!! I was shocked that the author was also a singer-songwriter! I was not expecting that at all!!

Spoiler

I listened to every song and was fascinated because I could unexplainably imagine Andy and Anita singing those songs together at the party of the end of the world. Wow. My only problem with it was the death of one of my favorite characters, which, of course, I got too attached and related a lot so I was not happy with his ending.

On the other hand, it does show that death can be right around the corner, it does not always take an asteroid to die. It certainly should not take an asteroid to enjoy life, and wake up every morning appreciating that day because the present is a gift. THANK YOU TOMMY WALLACH
