I won't write a lot as it is a book you need to go in blind to, to fully enjoy. 

The play really only starts about 100 pages in and it is a mass of story beats from there. The main character Noa starts off as an arsehole and you will be amazed that anyone likes him. This being side does have very good character development  as he is a redeemable character by the end of the book.

As soon as I saw this book, I knew I had to read it. I didn't even look at what it was about. Didn't care. The author is that great of a writer!

He did not disappoint me either.

In the synopsis, it says this book is like Black Mirror meets What If It's Us. I haven't seen the latter one, but I definitely get the psychological vibes of Black Mirror. The romance, and the characters, gave me Aristotle and Dante vibes. I love both of these though, so for me this book was a page turner. I needed to see if they would figure out where they were. I also needed to see how their relationship would fare. I was invested, to say the least.

Another fantastic story from this author!

Hutchinson always likes to add twists to his stories and he didn’t forego his pattern with this book. The tense situations mixed with lighthearted comedy strung together a beautiful story about overcoming past trauma and understanding how to love.

If you like stories that feel like multiple stories with the same characters in one book...
If you like sci-fi stories where something's not quite right, but you're not sure exactly what...
If you like gay romance combined with mindfucks, the most irritating AI you'll ever meet, and figuring out how to send a big 'ol middle finger to The System...
You'll enjoy A Complicated Love Story Set in Space.

About the death CW

as you learn relatively early on, death is frequently impermenant in the world of this book

I'm not a fan of "and it was all a dream/TV show!"-type plots.
