Dark Space by Lisa Henry
4.0
A short scifi romp with violence, homophobia (internalized and otherwise), as well as rape (both as a threat as well as actualized on page.) Also suicidal ideation.
So, this is not a feel good romance book, if that's what you're looking for. There is also a thread of familial love, as well as the overarching bond between the main characters (which is insta-lovey, but with reasoning that makes it less annoying).
I love Henry's writing, and this was a pretty solid story. The reason for four instead of five stars is the fact that while I read this, I mostly felt anxiety and gloom. So while this was a decent book, the reading experience was pretty unpleasant for me, personally.
