Alex is going into her senior year when mysterious holograms with portals show up all over the world, claiming that a comet will destroy Earth in 6 months and offering a one-way ticket to salvation. Who are these "saviors"? Are they telling the truth? Will Alex stay and remain hopeful, or flee into the unknown?
This novel is compelling, interesting, and mysterious with a mad rush to the finish. While the protagonist is full of her own life questions, there is also the pondering of existential questions which made this more enjoyable for me, a full-grown adult. There was quite a bit of...teenager-ness(?) that I found annoying, but then again it isn't written for me.
I definitely couldn't wait to pick up the sequel once I finished this one!
