I really really enjoyed Project Hail Mary! This book had a great mix of smarty pants science stuff, comedy, heart warming moments and impending doom. 😂 I got really attached to Ryland and Rocky, I loved their dynamic! It’s really clever the way they communicated and translated their language in order to work together and literally save their respective planets. I didn’t expect this book to have me laughing as much as it did or to be crying over a alien rock spider but here we are! If we ever encounter alien life irl I hope they’re like Rocky!
