★★★★.5

THIS IS SO UNDERRATED. This book is essentially speed-dating iN SPACE with a mystery thrown in there for funsies. IT'S SO COOL. The writing isn't the BEST (but keep in mind it's translated) and the audiobook narrator was TERRIBLE at all the accents haha but boy, was this book A RIDE. I NEED TO READ BOOK 2 IMMEDIATELY!

trigger warnings: mention of growing up in the foster system, loss of loved ones (in the past), scary space stuff, fatphobia, drug use, murder.
