I can’t right now. This book was so utterly amazing. How has Kayla ancrum only written two books?!! I loved the characters and their close knit bond, I loved that each of them had such different personalities and backgrounds but were able to find each other and grow. Also I’m such a sucker for found family and all that jazz so I obviously loved this. I think all the space and nasa/Scout parts were very well thought out and interesting. The last thing was that there was lgbt rep in this book which I love and it was done very well in my opinion. Overall, how dare you only have two books Kayla ancrum. I loved this and I’m so exited to see what this author writes next!

This was nicely written. There were numerous beautifully written lines that felt almost too literary for this book lol.
I don’t have a problem with the plot or the storyline, it was the characters that I had hard time coping with. One time they were these reckless, quirky and troublesome teenagers and other time, they were adults trapped inside the bodies of adolescents. You may say, ‘maybe the characters have developed?”, no I don’t think it was a development because they keep going back and forth between these two extremes.
Also, some things were kind of unrealistic ? A heist of uncoordinated teenagers breaking into a prestigious and highly-secured institution? And they really believed they would get away with it ? Their rich friend would just bail them out like it’s no big deal ?
okay.

Do you ever get halfway through a novel and realize you really just don't care?
A very exciting premise ruined by too-simplistic writing and a flat plot. Sigh.

This is more than I thought it could be for me in the best possible way.

Haven’t read in a few days and don’t really feel the want to. Returned library audiobook & sold physical copy at half priced books.
