The premise of this book sounded great but I was left wanting so much more from the plot. What we get is the interior monologue of our main character on her quest for human connection... on another planet. Based on the blurb there just wasn't enough of the science fiction elements I was expecting. I wanted more info on Nyx and how it worked! That said, I really enjoyed the writing and loved the narration. Unlike a lot of reviewers it seems, I really relished ending of this book, it felt like what I was waiting for all along.

This didn’t turn out to be the story I thought I was getting into, which is okay! It was a difficult first half for me but I did end up connecting with the characters. But then whattttt happened with the rest 😭 We finally got to what I was the most interested in with this book, only for the story to give you no answers to what is happening on Nyx. Yes, I could be a free thinker. But I would prefer the author to give me an ending 🥲❤️
If you like hearing people’s internal monologue, snag a copy because it isn’t bad, I’m just easily dissatisfied.

« Jesus, she thinks. All this longing for unreachable things. »
this feels like being gently peer pressured into enjoying your life, in a careful-what-you-wish-for kind of way
