Such a beautifully written book, it follows Kady Grant and Ezra Mason through the bombing of their home planet, onto spaceships in the black of the universe. Told in transcripts, emails, and commentary by a certain AI, this book is lovable and emotional, and makes you want to read it again and again.
If you love Sci-fi, or books told in unusual formats (such as letters or instagram posts) then you will love this book! I, for one, loved it, and it had me laughing out loud and crying at the same time.

I went into this with space adventure vibes of Firefly/Serenity, but I ended up with the horror, space thriller vibes of Serenity. When that tonal shift happened, the story took off and I got incredibly absorbed to the bittersweet end. I was supposed to slowly read this thru the month of Aug and here I am, finished a week in. Going to find the other two books to fill the month. Well done!
