The Stars We Steal by Alexa Donne
4.0

I really thought this was going to be my first 5 star read in a while but sadly whilst I did really enjoy it, the momentum that had more hooked died about 2/3s of the way through.
I also predicted both of the ‘twists’ at the end which also disappointed me as it felt like the author had almost played it safe.
Onto the positives this is The Selection in space. I’ll admit that I only picked this book up because of the beautiful cover (yes I am sometimes shallow like that) and therefore had no idea what this was about but I was so surprised at what the storyline was and how much I enjoyed it. I really liked the idea of everyone living on different space stations and it almost being like different countries with separate elections and tracing their heritage to the various countries on Earth also the fact that this ship wasn’t American owned was a lovely change.
Overall I really enjoyed but but I am sad that it didn’t quite hit 5 stars.
