To be completely honest, I was very tempted to give this two stars, but the unique storyline and Celeste boosted it to three. I wouldn't say this book was terrible, it wasn't bad, and nothing stood out enough for me to think it was great. The overall concept was very interesting and I did like the slang they used like "cosmic" and "fragging", but sometimes it was really confusing. Anyways, let's go in depth as to why I thought this book was average:
Now, in the beginning, Aggie was a character that I could sympathise with. She had lost her father, had lived through a horrific incident and even had to be a poster girl for a company immediately after. So obviously I felt sorry for her. Then, she decides to be a complete ditz and jeopardise her, and her potential love interest's life JUST so she can "save" her friend. For those who haven't read this novel, you may be thinking; "Well that's completely normal, of course you're going to want to save your friend! She's not an animal!!" And yes, she wouldn't be if it were as simple as that. HOWEVER! Her friend (Seb), was completely safe and he would have flown under the radar if she didn't stop and heroically take him away and "save the day". So basically, don't save your friend if they don't need saving.
I know that probably made me sound really petty, but something that really made me feel better after all that was Celeste. Celeste was the computer program in charge of the whole station and was filled with hilarious moments. Not only was she funny though, but she also picked Aggie's stupid ass off of the ground and saved them all from failing miserably. Basically she's the hero of the whole novel.
Here are a few of my favourite Celeste moments just to lighten the mood and end on a high:
Then there was this gem:
Overall I probably wouldn't recommend this book to anyone, unless I knew they were big space or sci-fi fans. In saying that though, I don't mean this to be harsh, it's just my personal opinion (:
