Just do yourself a favor and read 'You Were There Too.' Its the exact same story, just not in space and with better writing.
CHARACTERS: The characters were one-dimensional and unlikable. And in a confusing fashion, they're unknowable at the same time. You are given very little information, and therefore I struggled to care about anyone beyond Logan, and that was out of pity for the character.

WORLDBUILDING: the world-building was barely there for what had been marketed as a science fiction book. There are allusions to spacecraft and settlements, other planets, but nothing is fleshed out and is therefore wholly uninteresting.
Characters move to a spacecraft, to a room, to a bathroom, to a room. Candidly, it is obvious that the "world building" is really just a shallow overlay clumsily placed upon something that previously existed in other media.
SMUT: It is in here, and there's a lot of it, but it honestly got to the point that it was actually repetitive and uninteresting.
MISC: The author makes the decision to write in first-person omniscient. It was not enjoyable nor did it add anything to the story.
