“A riveting ride through the stars.” —Kirkus Reviews 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.

"Dnf 60% of they way thru.<br/><br/>I struggled to like this book. Reading the synopsis it sounded perfect for me. A space opera, love, and murder... let's do this. What hit me first was the insufferable main character Noa. Try as I may I couldn't connect. Noa dawdled about putting everyone in danger then proceeded to run his mouth nearly killing himself. He definitely is one of those side characters who get everyone killed in dire situations though somehow ending up as the protagonist.<br/><br/>The romance/attraction didn't seem genuine. Two people with nothing in common just the same circumstances was not appealing. Also seemed like it was suppose to be a romantic comedy though most jokes fell flat. I struggled reading, taking short breaks so I didn't tire myself, but there was just nothing compelling me to continue. Reviewers said it had a good twist but I wasn't into the story and didn't want to pressure myself to make it that far.<br/><br/>Practically all the characters I met so far where one dimensional and there wasn't many. DJ was a pushover who only saw the bright side to life...annoying. Jenny was the only character I enjoyed and she got pushed to the side on account of the romance. The writing style was easy to read I think the characters needed to be more flushed out."

" if you haven’t read this book, you are doing yourself a disservice. This book made me feel things I’ve never been so emotionally invested in a book to the point where I had to yell at it when it revealed its plot twist I want to find this author and strangle them, not because they made a bad book but because they made such a good book that I hated them for it, Read this."
