It’s the End of the World—and teenagers are still up to coming of age shenanigans

WeAllLookedUpBefore the asteroid we let ourselves be defined by labels: The ATHLETE, the OUTCAST, the SLACKER, the OVERACHIEVER.

But then we all looked up and everything changed.

They said it would be here in two months. That gave us two months to leave our labels behind. Two months to become something bigger than what we’d been, something that would last even after the end.

Two months to really LIVE.

Read the age old tale of teen restlessness, this time with the twist of apocalypse on the horizon.  Four teens face the potential end of the world as heralded by a meteor, Ardor, as it hurtles towards earth and they hurtle towards the answer to an eternal question: what is it to really live?

Set close to home in misty Seattle, these teens react to impending doom as many a teen in many a novel has: by shucking the labels and expectations pressed upon them by their classmates, families, and community and embarking deep exploration of their true identities.  Whether the meteor wipes out life as they know it is irrelevant—by the last page, everything for these kids has changed.
