Ohmigosh….what did I just read?! Ha! That was the craziest outer space sci-fi adventure that I have read in a long time. It had quite a few interesting plot twists, gave me goosebumps more than once, had me laughing, had me tearful, and had me asking “what in the world?!”. It was a great novel and a fun read.

This was so fun to read! Good pace, likable characters, lots of humor throughout the book. I found out they're making this into a movie, so I'll definitely be watching that when it comes out. ...more
