The Space Between Us by Melanie Summers

This book had me smiling big after it ended. This was a heartwarming, heart-touching, and lifting-your-mood-up kind of story.

Gwen Fox, an astrobiologist, is determined to save her space research program from a billionaire named Ty Sterling.

They find themselves stranded in the jungle, and their attraction grows. The story explores themes of enemies to lovers, billionaire meets S.T.E.M. romance, romance, adventure, and danger, with a secret cinnamon roll hero and loads of witty banter and tension.

Ty and Gwen had great chemistry and traits that were well developed, giving us amazing personalities. Ty, though cynical, was so good.

Enemies to Lovers: My favorite trope is immensely well done by the author here. It made the book cute. It was an emotional rollercoaster, sweet, had adventure with all the embarrassing stuff, and did come with a unique plot that I haven't come across in any other book yet, which made this interesting.

The dual POV was the highlight for me. When it is enemies to lovers, dual POV is needed. This had me laughing, giggly, rolling my eyes, and at the same time being frustrated with the characters. My favorite was Michael. He was the sweetest character Melanie brought to life.

There is a scene that comes up in the book that is kind of cringeworthy but funny at the same time. The writing and pacing were well done and had me turning the pages over quickly. Each chapter was titled in a funny way, which I absolutely loved. There was spice too, but not much.

This was a great and fun read, and I recommend it to all rom-com lovers.
