These Broken Stars by Meagan Spooner, Amie Kaufman
5.0

OHMYGODS this was amazing! I didn't know what to expect when going into this book but i was definitely pleasantly surprised.
I was looking for a happy cute couple book to read after reading Shadow Kiss by Richelle Mead from the Vampire Academy series(seriously good series go read it) and escape the sadness that that book caused but was yet again destroyed in utter depression.
This book goes through a cute love story to an interesting sci-fi in point 0 seconds. The chapters switch views between the two characters which I thought flowed nicely and added nice depth to the story. I also liked that before each chapter there is a bit of an interview or debriefing that the one character is having so by the end of the book you have one whole interview but as your reading it it gives you that little extra bit of insight and foreshadowing that really makes the story really cool. I also really like the cover of this book because the two main characters are displayed in the attire that they wear throughout almost the entire book.
The plot line is extremely riveting and exciting. I couldn't put it down! It follows the story of the daughter of the most powerful and rich man in the galaxy and the solider who came from nothing but worked hard to get to the status of Major. This unlikely couple meet on a large ship going through hyperspace but are suddenly stuck into extreme circumstances and must work together to survive discovering surprising things about each other and their world.
