This book was such a fun YA sci fi thriller with a cute-ish queer romance. I was expecting a cute YA romance with some thrilling moments, but it was more the other way around. This book continued to raise the stakes and make you worry about the characters at any given moment.

I wouldn't say it was completely mind-blowing or unpredictable, but everything was just a little bit darker than I expected. I flew through this because I needed to know how it ended.
