I’m a little late in posting my book review (prioritizing school and my health!!) and the book published two weeks ago, but I hope I manage to convince you all to pick up a copy whenever you can, because it is absolutely worth it!! Sure, most of the book took place on Earth, and sure, the gay was very slowburn, but did I adore it completely despite that? (Yes.) I don’t think I’d ever read a YA gays in space book until now, and I have to say… it was everything I was looking for. That, and also the fact that it’s written with some of the most gorgeous prose ever and it made me cry and has an absolutely stunning cover. That’s pretty much all you need to know to pick this book up. ![]()
