Sigh.
Every time I listen to Book Riot's podcasts, I end up with a new book on my TBR. I try SO HARD to fight it, but this one sounded too fascinating to pass up.
I knew quickly this was going to be a book that ends up high on my 2019 list. It's claustrophobic without being oppressive, it's heartbreaking and you want Romy to just find love and peace. She has a therapist....who is on earth and can't respond to any of her emails for OVER A YEAR. She's alone on this ship, with everyone on board having died before the book started. And then she finds out that NASA has sent a second ship! That's faster! It's going to meet up with her in about a year!! And the guy on board talking to her sounds sweet and kind and cute and MAYBE SHE WILL FIND LOVE!!
But then she is no longer hearing from NASA or earth at all.....and when word does finally get through, earth is not in a good place. And reading this...imaging hearing that the worst that could happen on earth has, you can't contact anyone (18 months roughly for transmitting data!) and while you've never stepped foot on the planet, it's still heartbreaking.
And you now only have one person to talk to. What do you know about this person?
