What if you could travel lightyears without fear?

I absolutely loved the concept of this book. I mean, body writing in space? Wow--what a great idea! I was intrigued from the first page that sets up the book so well, giving you insight into Jessica, the main character.

Or is she?

The author took such a unique approach to the narration, splitting it into Before and After, showing Jessica two separate states and how those worlds collided. Plus it was set on a space ship and then an alien planet so my scifi heart was SO happy.

I was really enjoying it at first, and then something happens and we also get to explore the new planet, and the solidified even more how much I enjoyed this book. It's a unique take on planetary exploration, how we see ourselves and how our experience shapes us, as well as the lengths to which humans will go.

There are a few unanswered questions I would have liked some additional info about by the end, but I also felt like the ending was a nice way to wrap it up.

I hope this author writes more YA scifi!

To me, while it is scifi and involves space, it's not in the same way other popular books have done so. It's very accessible and would appeal to lovers of contemporary with a tinge of mystery/suspense.

Note: There is a bit of language in this one.

My rating: 4.4*
