Heartwarming but not sappy, comforting but not dismissive of sadness/harm. A group of sapient aliens (almost no humans in sight) are stuck on an unremarkable planet that is the space equivalent of a truck stop. Despite their immense differences, they get to know each other and connect, and work together in a crisis. This is the last Becky Chambers I had on my TBR before I've read all of her books. Can't wait until she has a new one out! #CozySciFi
