Book Overview

They Both Die at the End meets Gravity in this mind-bending sci-fi mystery and tender love story about two boys aboard a spaceship sent on a rescue mission, from two-time National Book Award finalist Eliot Schrefer. Stonewall Honor Award winner

Two boys, alone in space. Sworn enemies sent on the same rescue mission.

Ambrose wakes up on the Coordinated Endeavor with no memory of a launch. There's more that doesn't add up: evidence indicates strangers have been on board, the ship's operating system is voiced by his mother, and his handsome, brooding shipmate has barricaded himself away. But nothing will stop Ambrose from making his mission succeed--not when he's rescuing his own sister.

In order to survive the ship's secrets, Ambrose and Kodiak will need to work together and learn to trust each other . . . especially once they discover what they are truly up against. Love might be the only way to survive.

Could have been better

I was really hoping for more from this. The book was hard to imagine for me, and seemed kind of boring in its description (400 pages on one space ship was kind of a drag most times) I thought the premise was cool but the execution left me wanting more. The romance wasn’t really impactful and the characters felt like they didn’t really have a driving force behind them. They lacked humanity for me and a voice of their own. If you’re really into space travel I’d say you could give it a go but it wasn’t really my favorite.

It wasn't what I expected and I love that

This book looks and acts like it's going to be another enemies to lovers book. But it's so much more. I'd love to talk about the excitement and intensity I felt reading this, but I don't want to give anything away. I LOVE this book. It's new to me in the best way, and I wish there were more books like it.
