Earth receives a transmission from another planet, Alma, saying that they will destroy their colony planet Earth in a week. Now, everyone on Earth is scrambling. Some people are looting stores and others are trying to spend time with people who are important to them.
3 teens: Cate, Jesse, and Adeem...Each living in 3 different cities/towns. They are each trying to deal with the situation in their own way. Cate wants to find the dad she never met, even while her mom is checked into a facility. Jesse feels like his life is all messed up and maybe it doesn't matter that the world is ending. Meanwhile, Adeem wants to reconnect with his estranged sister. Eventually their paths cross.
This is what I would call sci-fi lite or Diet SciFi. There is the mention of aliens BUT the story is much more focused on the humans and how they react to the impending end of the world.

i'm so unsure as to what to rate this book. i loved it from start to near-finish. i loved the characters & their interactions but the ending felt rushed?
