This is one of the best books I’ve read in so long. Once I started it, I couldn’t put it down. The writing style was so easy to comprehend, the descriptions got me extremely engaged. I absolutely FELL IN LOVE with these characters!!!!

As a member of the LGBTQ+ community and as someone with neurodivergence who struggles with sensory issues, I haven’t never felt as seen in a book as I did with Junker Seven. While I was reading, I was just thinking “hey, I do all this!” I’ve never read a book with this much representation of who I am before and it felt so good to be seen. 

I highly recommend this book to anyone who is even thinking about reading it. It’s easy to comprehend sci-fi, a slow burn romance, and a true commentary on many things going on in our world today. It also has a silly goldfish ;)
