There are quite some plot twists.
Just when I thought I knew what was going on, it turned out to be something else...
The plot has a very interesting structure.
It's cool!

I'm honestly speechless. That is how awestruck this book has left me. I was ready to wax lyrical on how this book touched me, but I can't sum it up better than this; once I had read the last words, I began to weep at its beauty before kissing the cover and holding it to my chest. I ADORED THIS BOOK! 

Plus its hard sci-fi and gay romance in one convenient package!

Prepare for your heart to die (a dozen times over) when you pick up this book. Play the Interstellar soundtrack in the background.
