Süße Liebesgeschichte, aber war einfach nicht mein Thema mit der Geschichte drumherum. Zwischendurch hatte es ganz schöne Längen, wodurch ich mehrmals pausiert habe.

What I love about this book: - people being flawed and being allowed to be flawed - space and gays - not too forced love story without the drama of labeling - loveable characters - portrayal of mental illnesses as illnesses and not as character flaws or weaknesses What I didn‘t love: - DUDE, CALL DEB BACK!! - people my age being called old - my youth becoming something retro and hipster for the youth of today - kind of a ‚been there, done that‘ feeling In the end it is, what it wants to be - a contemporary YA story with queer characters and space. And I like it. Not every book has to be innovative. Nevertheless it /is/ nice to have a gay couple just being themselves and not „oh-no-i-am-gay“ or „they-won‘t-accept-me-for-who-i-am“ and also to not have yet another comig out story (even though they are important and I live them every once in a while).

Me gusta mucho este libro, fue un buen acompañante. Una lectura muy ligera, lo leí en menos de 24 horas. Me emocionaba mucho, y no se, me entretuvo bastante. En este libro me enamore demasiado de León, si tengo una extraña obsesion con los personas tiernos.

it wasn't for me... at all... i love me some unlikable characters, but the main character is too unlikable for my taste. he is incredibly selfish and self-centered. i hated being in his head and hearing his thoughts.

This book felt like a breath of fresh YA air. I'm obviously a sucker for anything space themed, but that's not even my favourite thing about this novel; it's the protagonist. I just loved how confident Cal is - in himself, his sexuality and his style. It's just really uncommon for a YA character to be so sure of himself and that's incredibly refreshing to read. The first half-ish of the book felt a bit rushed, with everything happening very quickly, but I didn't mind that all too much. I would have wished for a little more character development though.

It‘s a really cute romance with some complications. The theme of space is so well fitting and I love every second of it.
