5/5 stars, read on audio. I started Project Hail Mary expecting another fun but gripping story of space/science/survival— and it was all that— but the story also came out of left field and absolutely derailed me with the power of friendship and love and two beings out in the vastness of space both trying their hardest to fix the problem and somehow survive their suicide missions.

It’s also how much you’re willing to die for a funky little alien you just met and I think this book is perfect
