God my brand is just going to be Space Gays™ at this point (I know this book isn’t really Space Gays™ but like c’mon).
This book while not really being science fiction felt so profound and other worldly. The whole plot surrounds this NASA space mission and how it affects our main character’s family. With all the family drama, internal conflict, relationship turmoil, and lots of argument the struggles of the Lewis family felt real. Going back to the “profound and other worldly” part, that would be me mainly talking about the romance between our main character Cal and Leon. Their relationship felt so pure and that was never undermined when it came to serious topics like Leon’s depression. This book was a great and fast read (less than 24 hours for me), that’d I’d recommend to any lovers of queer ya romance!
