Shaun David Hutchinson

Black Mirror meets What If It’s Us in this gripping, romantic, and wildly surprising novel about two boys lost in space trying to find their way home—while falling in love—from the critically acclaimed author of We Are the Ants. When Noa closes his eyes on Earth and wakes up on a spaceship called Qriosity just as it’s about to explode, he’s pretty sure things can’t get much weirder. Boy is he wrong. Trapped aboard Qriosity are also DJ and Jenny, neither of whom remember how they got onboard the ship. Together, the three face all the dangers of space, along with murder, aliens, a school dance, and one really, really bad day. But none of this can prepare Noa for the biggest challenge—falling in love. And as Noa’s feelings for DJ deepen, he has to contend not just with the challenges of the present, but also with his memories of the past. However, nothing is what it seems on Qriosity, and the truth will upend all of their lives forever. Love is complicated enough without also trying to stay alive.

Ooooh I absolutely loved this book! 

First of all, it's the first book that I have ever seen that comes with a trigger warning and I am very thankful for it. Second, it has a really nice plot and I really enjoyed the pace of the story and where it went. Made me anxious when the characters where feeling as such and made me feel good in the same way.

For my fellow ADHDers, the chapters are short and they are compiled in parts so I found it an easy read! 

Lovely book!

If you find yourself thinking "naah" after reading a few chapters, just keep reading and that "naah" will turn into a "waah!". It was super refreshing to stumble upon this hidden gem packed with unexpected entertaining twists and turns.

Not me (view spoiler)[saying that this book reads like a TV show (hide spoiler)] before it was revealed (view spoiler)[that everything I'm this book was a TV show  (hide spoiler)]. 

Anyways, I was actually liking this book up until we got answers, but then the answers made me hate everything.

This is one of those books that don't make sense until the end. Points for a mlm romance, but loses points for having drastic changes in character's personality & behaviour for what seems like no reason. As someone in their late 20s, the super quick falling in love is kind of a turnoff. Interesting concept, but I had to slog through 400 pages of adolescent infatuation before there was any inkling of an explanation for what the heck was going on

I have very complicated feelings for this book…

** I received this as an E-ARC from Edelweiss plus and the publisher in exchange for my honest review, Thank you!** 

I'm going to be honest and just say this book was not for me. I am not the audience for this type of book. When it comes to Shaun David Hutchinson's books, I find they are hit or miss for me. While I did enjoy the writing style, I was not a fan of the story itself. The plot just wasn't fun for me and I wasn't a fan of the setting.

"We Are The Ants", by the same author, is one of my favourite books, but this one was so disappointing... It felt like a draft that lacked editing and ended up being a confusing attempt at an idea, rather than a final product. I may also need to stop reading books starring high schoolers, as I really can't relate to any of the characters... A bad choice, overall 🙁
