If I had a nickel for every book I've read with space gays stuck in a space ship having to navigate life without knowing what's going on and where the story keeps restarting in weird ways, I've have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
Okay, so this book wasn't exactly like The Darkness Outside Us, but it had similar vibes at some points. If you liked that book but wanted a little more levity and a plucky third character, this is probably the perfect book for you.
Honestly, this book was a RIDE. I never knew what was going to happen and every time I thought I had things figured out it shifted DRASTICALLY. I definitely liked parts more than others and it took me awhile to really warm up to Noa. I found him annoying at first, but once I got to know him, I appreciated him more. I loved DJ and that love only grew as the story went on. Despite the ups and downs, the story held my attention and I thoroughly enjoyed the ride.
The ending was a little more open-ended than I usually like, but the story wrapped up enough I felt satisfied. I wouldn't mind a sequel, though.
