You know you just read an awesome book when your first thought is "I'm going to miss the characters from this book"...and that's how I felt right after I finished it!

- The book started off with a great hook.. introducing a lone astronomer/scientist who grapples with lost memories on a spaceship. I love how the author switches the screenplay (?) between the current events and flashbacks, unraveling the mysterious situations that led to his current situation.

- When you get to the middle of the book, you'll find a very interesting plot twist where the lone astronomer is no longer alone and he gets help from someone unexpected! A friendship is formed between the stranger and the scientist because they had the same goal...to save planets together! The friendship turns out to be really cute! Lol.

- As you near the end of the book, there will be enough twists to keep you awake the whole night!!

- I loved how Andy Weir adds humour into his sci-fi stories. I laughed a lottt while I was reading at few parts of the book. I felt sad and even cried happy tears at the end of the book. Somewhere at 25% of the book, I felt it was a little dragging but I got invested enough in the book by then to not give up easily on it..

Overall, it's one of the best sci-fi books I've read. It gets a little science-y at times (I enjoyed it a lot since I was a Physics student) but the author makes up for it with his simple language and narration skills.

You won't regret it if you decide to pick this up. ❤️
