Spoiler free

First of all this book is a mystery/thriller set in space not romance book. The blurb is misleading. Romance is definitely there but it's not a major part of the book.

Summary
Romy silvers is the only surviving crew-member aboard the spaceship infinity travelling to a planet that NASA has declared habitable for humans.

She was the loneliest girl in the universe until she recieved a message from NASA informing her about another spaceshipEternity headed her way with a passenger named J.

Romy and J starts exchanging emails. Romy is thrilled that now she won't have to carry out her mission alone, that NASA has finally sent someone to help her, but when she recieves a mysterious message from earth she begins to question everything. Her connection with earth gets disrupted leaving her with lots of unanswered questions and a stranger she is falling in love with.

My thoughts

I really enjoyed this book. Usually insta love grosses me out but in this book it made a lot of sense. If I were spending my life in isolation like Romy, I would have gotten attached easily too.
First few pages of the book were very interesting, middle was kind of boring and climax was satisfactory. This wasn't the best sci-fi book, but it wasn't bad either. If you are looking for a light read, you should pick this book up. However, if you are new to this genre, I wouldn't recommend you this book cos there far better sci-fi books out there that will make you fall in love with this genre.

I went into this book with zero expectation and I was pleasantly surprised. It was an entertaining read.
