Beautiful story. As someone who is totally a girl-dad, this book left me in tears. 

The only reason why this is not a 5.0 for me is due to the pacing in some areas and the repetitive nature of some aspects (re: soccer mentions) but man. 

This book is great if you're not too sure about where to start with Sci-Fi! The world Chen creates is not overly complex but still offers enough wonder to keep you hooked from the jump. 

I will be reading his other novels!
