Liked a lot of aspects and especially the space stuff. I don't know why I didn't fully love it, but I'll probably read another book by this author at some point because I think he's got some great books in him. Oh, and the cover is amazing, I love it!

it was cute! i like it when books with gay characters dont solely focus on the fact that theyre gay and instead its just a part of who the characters are and not ONLY who they are, yknow?

I don't care about space. Never have. It always seemed so big and empty and boring to me, when our own planet is full of vibrant life everywhere you look. 

Stamper's debut novel made me care. It swept me up in the eager sense of adventure and discovery and it made me wish NASA really was making these arrangements in real life. It made me wish I'd been able to appreciate being born in a world pre-moon landing, just for that incredible moment of knowing we'd done the seemingly impossible. How amazing must that have felt? 

We get a glimpse of it in Stamper's prose and he really captures something special in each chapter. The writing itself is compelling, easy to read and heart-warmingly REAL. The only time I put this book down was to sleep! The fast pace and dramatic twists felt expertly tweaked to create a genuine reaction in the reader. I found myself crying out at the juiciest moments, my emotions on the line as well as Cal's own personal stakes.

I know there's a short story sequel to this book and I'll 100% be picking it up. Until then, I recommend that you get your hands on this book. If it can make my anti-space self care about our universe, it'll be ideal for anyone who thinks there's value in looking to the stars.

Also: Moderate: Plane crash, underage drinking Re: Toxic relationship -

this is entirely about parents who have loud, regular fights. It doesn't step into verbal abuse and it's more of a communication problem than anything else, but it's a strong theme at the start of the book. It improves in time and becomes healthy with effort from both parties.

Very not a standard concept. I did not expect that I will like the story how much actually I like it. Very good book giving a lot of perspectives. Makes you think about how much a can dream costs and how not everything always looks so amazing as in reality is.
