I received an advance digital copy of this book in exchange for my review.
This is a really fun, heartwarming book! I super enjoyed the core characters and absolutely adored how queer everything was (and how NORMAL that was. I'm always mixed on queernormative worlds, but I really enjoyed this). I love love loved how the story revolved around chosen family - I'm a sucker for it and this hit the spot for me.
The plot was pretty simple and relatively predictable, but the individual elements were super strong - the writing of the function and malfunction of cybernetics was ๐๐ and wasn't so high-tech that I felt lost.
The only real weakness this book has, beyond preference on content/pacing, is the worldbuilding, which was definitely more vibes than something that felt real to me. I still enjoyed what was there, though!
This book is really lovely for anyone looking for a queerplatonic sci fi road trip kind of vibe, and I'd highly recommend it if you're into that!
