The Way to the Stars by Una McCormack

5.0

This book was exactly what I wanted it to: an absolutely darling and well-characterized backstory for Tilly. I was choked up pretty much the entire time for one reason or another, on Tilly's behalf and my own -- she's very different than me in many ways, but being a young girl who can't figure out how to fit in hits close to home. I also enjoyed the look into non-Starfleet Federation life and some neat alien world-building. I would have read it all in one sitting, if I had started it on a Saturday.
