This book is about several friends exploring poly relationships with each other in space. The Earth has been destroyed by climate change and several spaceships full of rogue scientists have started to build a new life for themselves in space. It's written in a mix of English and Spanish; the scientists came from California which had seceded from the US and opened its borders to Mexico, and Spanglish became the new official language. I loved the setting and all the back story, but found the main storyline to be a bit underwhelming. I'd have much preferred to have read more about what was going on in the background instead! The dialogue was often a little clunky, and sometimes felt like it was just a filler for the sex scenes. I would have preferred to get to know the characters more and become invested in their lives and relationships rather than just watch them have sex. I would still be interested in reading any sequels though, especially if there's more exploration of the book's inventive back story.

A really interesting look at a future human society of a type that isn't often seen in sci fi. I found this very refreshing and thought-provoking, though I'm not entirely sure I agree with the points it raises.

I thought the art work and colouring were lovely and I really enjoyed the idea of a group of scientists who are making a new life for themselves in space.

Twenty years ago a group of scientists left Earth, never to return. They no longer know what has happened on Earth but they have established a new community in space and they no longer wish to be bound by traditional societal expectations or customs.

The first generation of people who were born on the spaceship are now young adults and they do not want to be bound by the forms of sexual relationships and expectations of Earth, instead they want to negotiate their own intimate lives. Rigo is one of these young adults and she has open relationships with a couple of people on the ship. Her parents have what she sees as a traditional relationship but Rigo is trying to work out what she wants for herself.

That's basically what the story is about - working out a relationship/relationships and deciding what you want and then negotiating this with others. In space there is freedom to try new things and the community is much more open and accepting.

I enjoyed the art, but I can't say I was really interested in Rigo's love life or sexual activity. There are sex scenes in the novel so it isn't for children. I enjoyed the ethnic diversity of the characters but I wasnt interested in Rigo's dilemma.

What I really wanted to know is what happened to the people left on planet Earth?

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.

Oh Good Grief. I want to go back to the past and tell myself NOT TO FREAKING get this book. If I had known, if only I had known. URghhhh.

So I liked the idea of the book, the cover looked cute, and oh, yes, I didn't see the Erotica tag, otherwise I would most definitely skipped this one. Though OK, maybe I would have tried it, sure, I confess. But if I had known it was sex in this way? No fucking thank you.

What my problem was with this book? The fact everyone fucks everyone. Really, everyone, fucks, everyone. At one point our MC and one of her boys had a rendezvous in a closet (yes, while they were at work), and apparently after hot and steamy sex decided to chill a bit, they got discovered by one of their friends, who didn't even blink his eye at what he saw before him. Oh no, he was just calling them cute, and then proceeds to say some sexy things to his boy, yes the same one that the girl just had sex with. Ummmmmmm. What the hell? Like really, what the hell?

Oh, and during that conversation the boy mentioned that his depto was having room, and so even when she was having sex with another guy (yes, again, and this time with zero gravity because that is such a turn on????????????????) she is thinking about that guy, and then proceeds to run into her friends room, who is having sex with a girl who doesn't care that people just barge in. Like what the actual hell is wrong with these kids. I am all for exploring and being happy with sex, but this is just an orgy, just not in one go. Eww. Just eww. No. Just no. How can you even be casual friends if you all have sex with each other. I am not sure about you, but if I had sex with all my friends I would feel very very awkward about it. Plus maybe a bit jealous that my boy #1 has sex with a best friend of mine. Or boy #2, or girl #4. Well you get the idea.

Plus I am kind of confused how there are people who are slightly chubby. NO, don't take that the wrong way. Really, don't! But it is just with the food they eat, or actually the engineered stuff they eat, how do you get fat? Plus they all work hard, and with all the sex (and that burns a fair share of calories) I am just so confused. Really, I am. What is in that engineered stuff?

I did like the whole backstory why the characters are now in space. Oh boy, that is quite sad. I hope that one day they will be able to go back to Earth. Maybe it is much healthier now, maybe people are still alive.

The art is also one of my favourites, and the sex scenes are done pretty classy and nice.

But I wouldn't recommend this book at all. No. Just no.

A cute graphic novel with an interesting story. I love the concept of polyamorous relationships being the norm rather than the exception.

The artwork is what's dragging this down for me. I like complex artwork, and this was just a bit too cartoony for me.

Either way, I liked the story and would recommend it to anyone looking for some steamy and graphic sci-fi.
