i fuckin loved this book

which, reading other reviews i know is a drop in the ocean of mixed feelings. 

The biggest complaints made by other readers are that it’s very quip-y. And the chapters are like 3 pages long and end on a cliffhanger most of the time. 

Now for me, who has the attention span of a goldfish, and a deep hatred of dry ass Sci-Fi novels, this book is absolutely perfect. And the main character is bi, which i love, and has an fwb relationship with her hunk of an engineer (who is very sweet, respectful, funny and loveable, as all good men should be). 

ITS JUST FUCKIN GOOD, I LIKED IT A LOT. The main characters are funny, competent, and just all around cool. There are definitely jump scares in this that read like a tv show, and it’s super fun to read. Books like these remind me why I like YA, they can have more fun!

Holy crap, this was phenomenal. I picked it up on a whim and really didn't expect to love it as much as I did. It was fast-paced and engaging, and I could not stop thinking about it. I'm so excited to pick up the next book!
