 Okay, so like this was my first post-vacation read and it wasn't terrible. There's enough of a plot to keep the story going and I know it's the first book in a series, but overall the story felt kind of just alright.

Pros: characters are all pretty likable except the one we're really not supposed to like. It flows really well and there wasn't a point in which I was like "okay let's get this over with." And it was like the only book that seriously caught my interest.

Cons: "daddy" iykyk. This is just a personal "ick" of mine, but I loathe anyone over like 5 years old using that word and Amy (the MC) used it probably like 300 times too many. Everytime she used that word it really took me out of the story.

I think anyone who likes stories set in space similar to that Chrispy Ratt and JLaw movie that came out a few years back would definitely be interested in this one.
