This book … it captivated me and pissed me off at the same time. 
A group of young teenagers who train for and eventually go on a 20+year Spacetrip. 

Non-spoilery Flaws in the book:
I really found that there could have been more continued exploration of the characters. Some of the growth was sudden and weirdly unexplained. Some seemed to be forgotten in between and some were really unnecessary and just there. 
Still, it kept me going until the very end and I can’t say I was disappointed.

This is YA and I should know I don't love YA (or very rarely). Too much angst and too little progress. I can't give more without spoilers but don't go in this for the scif dystopian aspect or you will be disappointed.

*My star number review is based solely on enjoyment.

howard's review

3.0

this was kind of exhausting. i never really felt like the plot mattered even though some of the scenarios were literally life or death. i enjoyed the character writing and that was mostly what pulled me through to the end. i know it was supposed to be a hopeful ending but i didn't really feel that. 

the writing was pretty compelling. i mostly read this in 100 page burst without really getting bored. i just didn't connect with the plot.

this might just be that the book is british and i'm american but i felt like there were some grammar errors throughout that made me stop and go hmm.
