What would you do if the world was ending?
Wren Wheeler has flown eight thousand kilometres across the ocean to discover she's the worst kind of tourist: the kind who just wants to go home. Her senior-year trip to London was supposed to be life-changing, but Wren's perfectly planned itinerary is in tatters.
Then she meets a very cute boy with a posh accent who looks remarkably like Prince Theo, the British Crown Prince.
With news of a catastrophic comet hurtling towards Earth, Wren and the Prince are forced into the highest-stakes journey of them all as Wren tries to race home - before the end of the world.
A heart-stopping story of royalty, romance and the most frenetic race across the world
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
An American teen stranded in England must rely on European royalty to navigate an imminent world-ending comet collision in this high-stakes rom-com by McDowell (This Might Get Awkward). Eighteen-year-old Wren Wheeler did not expect to spend half of her senior-year trip to London sick with a stomach bug, nor did she anticipate that her best friend Naomi would want no part of Wren's meticulously curated itinerary. But that's not going to keep Wren from enjoying her last day in London—until she finds her final stop closed, and her class leaves for their flight home to Chicago without her. The only bright spot is meeting ruggedly handsome Theo, the on-the-lam prince of Wales. When they learn that a 14-mile-wide comet will strike Earth in eight days, Wren and Theo try making their way to Greece, where his family has a private plane. Though canceled flights, panicked citizens, and relentless paparazzi plague their journey, Wren finds herself falling for Theo and learning to embrace life's unpredictability. The duo's magnetic chemistry and wry banter work levity into a would-be dire situation, culminating in a cavorting, globe-trotting jaunt. Characters read as white. Ages 13–up.
