A found family that fights for their lives in space? Sign me up. A Bonnie and Clyde retelling complete with their obsessive love, skillful heists and a healthy dose of chaos? Obviously, I am in. Girls with knives? *swoon*

I have heard so much about this rag tag team, and it was incredible to finally meet all of them and get inside their heads. While I did not recognize all of the Taylor Swift references, I did spot two which is enough to make me proud. As a feminist, I really did have a soft spot for Ava making her way through the galaxy by manipulating men — as a way to close the wage gap, even if it is morally gray.

Jenna Voris' debut reads exactly as the book I imagined it would be - witty, wild & wonderful. You can see how much she loves YA, and this book is sure to entertain all ages and get new YA readers hooked on finding new worlds to crawl into and explore.
