Utterly delightful. Makes good on the promise of being a space adventure sapphic rom-com. Was it cheesy? Yes. Was I smiling the whole way? Also yes. 

I enjoyed the poetry references. The other references either to 2020s tech or to 1990s movies stretched credibility (given that the book takes places in 2060), but ultimately I did not care. Everyone was too loveable. It ends very "just-so", but again, I wanted something cozy and feel-good and this book did that.
