The Loneliest Girl in the Universe deserves every tiny drop of hype that it gets, it’s incredible!

I adored the writing style because I was immediately able to conjure up the scenes in my head but I didn’t feel that there were reams and reams of description either. The Science-y aspects were understandable and did not baffle my brain, they were simplified enough to be understandable but I was also still in awe of it all and how intelligent Romy is.

The plot of this book is so exhilarating and creepy at the same time. It is incredibly action-packed and one of the few books that I would actually LOVE to see brought to life on film as I think the plot would lend itself perfectly to the big screen. I can’t even begin to imagine how gorgeous it would look!

I LOVED Romy. She has so many layers and that is always something I look for in my favourite fictional characters. As well as being incredibly intelligent, independent, resilient and sassy, she has a much deeper emotional side and her anxiety was well-written and very relatable for me. This book also has one of the CREEPIEST villains I have read in a long time. I don’t want to give things away so I’m not going to say much more other than I actually had goosebumps on my skin and felt so on edge during certain parts of the book.

This book is truly incredible. It is not what you expect it to be, but it is so much more. Underneath a stunning, sparkly cover is a tense, exhilarating journey through Space with fantastic characters and beautiful writing. YA Science-Fiction at its best!
