Would it be possible to call that Easons location and see if one of the staff members could help? If you could describe the location in the store (approximate section/display) where you saw it along with the cover you might be able to find it that way.
I don't want to downplay this groups abilities, they've found some books amazingly fast, but with your short time-limit, going back to the source of the recommendation might be your best bet.

You should include details about the book in the Topic Header. Vague titles like "Help!" are not according to the rules.

The Merlin Conspiracy by Diana Wynne Jones

A long shot re: alone in space - Across the Universe by Beth Revis?

Ken, what's the genre or tone - for young adults (teens) or older adults, romance, science fiction, fantasy, mystery, etc.?

Lou Rocama | 457 comments Some more explode-y covers that involve space travel

Time by Stephen Baxter Time (Manifold, #1) by Stephen Baxter (same book, different editions)

Lightless (Lightless #1) by C.A. Higgins

For book hunters, the exploding flower may be a supernova

Also, some questions, if you can remember:

Are any of the covers listed so far close to what you're looking for?
Is the explosion really big (like Defy the Stars in 3), or more subtle (Loneliest Girl in the Universe, 7)?
Is there a dominant color?
Is it a long book?
Adult or young adult?
Long title or short?
Recent or older?
