I have loved other books by these authors, so I knew I'd enjoy the writing style at the very least - and I did. I also really liked the characters, I found them quite refreshing, and I liked the story overall. Sometimes, I think a bit more background on what's happening on Earth would have helped to understand both Mia and Jules's situation and goals better. Some things were also a bit predictable in my opinion - Jules and Mia sometimes drew conclusions and then believed that this conclusion was definitely correct without considering other possibilities, but I guess in the end that's human and would probably happen to anyone, and it didn't exactly bother me. What annoyed me a bit sometimes was the whole Liz thing, it felt like a mere plot device to me and at some point I kinda wanted it to be over, but I do get why it was a part of the book and overall it was fine. The ending was good, even though it didn't surprise me at all, and I do want to find out what else is going to happen in part 2.
All in all, this is a good sci-fi book with two interesting main characters, a cute (maybe a bit too fast) love story and a nice, often-times funny, writing style.
