The artwork is stunning, the queer cast lovely, & the story gripping throughout. A queer coming-of-age SciFi story set in space. Spectacular!

Wurth ⭐️⭐️.5/5 I was excited to to read this book. But the writing turned out to be not great & the tokenizing & identity box checking was upsetting. Plus, underwhelming audiobook narration.

It’s equal parts witty and vulnerable & a Millennial memoir whose sole purpose isn't to make pseudo-generalizing point about our generation. Def going to watch the show next!

Kind of over the weak woman trope, & this was full of them (w/ a few exceptions). Saskia Maarleveld's narration, though, exquisite as always. #booksky #buzzybook Full review: anon.to/YNBn2u02 Aug 2026 19:56 +0000at://did:plc:vbftqopooggdj2zvaizdmo7m/app.bsky.feed.post/3ms4rctpbxc2ohttps://bsky.app/profile/bookstakat.bsky.social/post/3ms2wtfclzs2yYesteryear Caro Claire Burke ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 Okay, yes, this book has been _everywhere_ lately.
