This story was so genuinely endearing and heartbreaking at the same time. I don’t even know how to describe what I’m feeling right now.
I thought the sci-fi backdrop for this story to be really interesting and beautiful. The writer does that thing where they don’t bog you down with endless world-building and exposition like a lot of sci-fi media does, and instead sprinkles a little in and lets your brain fill in the rest. *chef’s kiss*
Mia and Grace’s relationship is so sweet and Mia’s progression as a character is really fun to read.
One thing I would’ve liked from this books: I would’ve liked a chapter from Grace’s point of view regarding her time with Mia, maybe. I know this is essentially Mia’s story, but I feel like Grace, considering she’s such an important character, doesn’t get a lot of time to shine.
Overall, a really quick, fun read!
