This one was a struggle for me, as I'd had it on my TBR list for so long. On one hand, I wanted to love it so badly... but on the other, I was listening to the audio and finding myself zoning out. I loved the premise of a girl who wanted to hear her mom, but she was hurtling through space. This story is less about the universe and more about the connection between two young girls. While the portrayal of high school was less than realistic, I enjoyed the diversity of characters and the struggles that they went through. Plus any book with LGBTQIA+ rep is a win for me.
