a space mystery! I loved the mc, I felt like I could really project myself onto her (which of course makes her likable). Kept me in suspense with lots of twists and yet a very satisfying conclusion.

3.0

I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. I definitely liked/hated the fact that you could feel all the emotions that Romy was feeling. I did get a bit confused with the concept of how the communication worked in the book but it did not distract from the plot. The MC gives me anxious girl vibes that is extremely lonely that at points you want to shake her and say think straight. However, the foreshadowing is subtle that when the twist happens it all clicks.
