Terra-Two - a distant planet 23 years of travel away, which young teenagers compete frantically to land on. But space is cold and unforgiving and the type of perfectionist, ambitious, striving people who make it there have flaws too, and that's very much the case for these young adults.
I really enjoyed the writing style, but this feels unfinished to me - I want to read a follow-up!

This book was way too slow and boring for me - the first really exciting to occur in the book happened around the 76% mark. Most of the book was just the teen characters arguing and complaining about everything. It doesn't make sense to me that any of these people were cleared to fly. They all have extremely obvious issues, their personalities clash constantly (they will have to live together in a confined space for 23 years!) and they always seem to take the opportunity to make a bad decision. The religious aspects were also really off-putting to me, and it's weird how the writing leans so hard into psychological issues but always seems to shy away from racism and colonialism when they come up.

There were a few quotes I liked (plus the one exciting thing and a couple of the adult characters) but it's not enough to ever recommend this to anyone.

aragreenwood's review

On page 52 one of the characters straight up asks his girl to have sex. And then she says yes. And they are maybe 13 or 14 years old and they're not married! As soon as that happened I stopped reading the book, so I wouldn't know if they carried through on that.
