What a neat little story. An old school mystery (Sherlock and Agatha feels), with a chance of rekindling an old flame – and oh – it takes place on Jupiter! Literally, out of this world (Sorry for the dad jokes).
Here, you have the two main characters serving as the reincarnation of Holmes and Watson as Mossa and Pleiti --- two, very socially awkward women. The (second chance) romance itself is soft and subtle. I found it rather sweet. Most of their communication happens without a single word being said, but rather based on actions and how well they know each other. This story made me think about how our reactions and responses to things change as we grow older, and how because of that, so will how you view actions within relationships. What once may have been dealbreaker before, you might actually have a better understanding for now.
The main focus of the story is the captivating mystery. There’s a lot of running around and bouncing ideas off of each other. Truly fascinating world building in such a short time frame. You can knock this story out in an afternoon curled up on the couch with a pot of tea beside you. Ideas of Earth is still lingering in the background, and of what we left behind, but pointing towards the future and what we can create for ourselves.
I hope to meet Mossa and Pleiti again.

I just did not care about anything in this book, the characters were boring, the plot was ridiculous and the narrator was not for me. Unfortunately I just couldn't not get on board with it.
