To Be Taught, If Fortunate by Becky Chambers
5.0
Loved this! I've read other sci-fi novels that deal with long distance space travel and characters being in suspension for so long that everyone they knew is gone, but this one just dealt with the subject in a way that really emphasized it and made me feel for the characters.
Also the aliens seemed much more realistic than most other books I've read, which mostly either have relatively humanoid aliens or keep them off the page.
This novella reads a little like The Martian if their mission had gone according to plan, but they'd instead run into interstellar communication difficulties.
