In a light, engaging girl-meets-boy novel, Internet rumors that a giant asteroid will imminently destroy Earth send brainy but rigid-thinking high school student Allegra "Legs" Hanover in pursuit of the object of her daydreams, surfer Andros Bliss. The asteroid narrowly misses Earth, but likable Legs spends what was supposed to be her last night on earth cuddled on the beach with Andros, learning to let her emotion supersede her intellect.
