ROCKY! ROCKY! ROCKY! ROCKY! ROCKY! ROCKY! ROCKY! ROCKY! ROCKY! ROCKY! ROCKY! ROCKY!

Can that be my entire review? No? Well, let me just say this. I am in love with this book!

This is my first book by Andy Weir and wow! I. Am. Just. Lost. For. Words.

The plot of Project Hail Mary is basically this. All of Earth is going to die and it's up to one man who can't remember anything, much less his name, to save it. This book also has some alien life in it but it was done in a super new and interesting way, that I personally have never seen done before!

I was a bit hesitant to read this because of a couple of reasons. 1) Andy Weir is a big name author and I was scared I wouldn't like his work, 2)this book uses the amnesia trope which isn't something I usually enjoy, but wow did I love it in the context it plays in this book, 3)claustrophobic spaces/stories that are set in only one small location are my jam, but 4)this book also has a duel timeline which is another trope I usually tend to dislike, but once again, I loved it in the context of this story! So yeah, you could say I was wrestling with some mixed feelings before jumping into this story, but luckily it paid off really well! And I don't want to jinx anything, but I think this might be a new favorite of the year!

I really don't know what else to say besides that I loved this book! I found it fascinating and fast-paced, I connected so deeply with the characters to the point that I laughed and almost cried my way through it entirely, and that ending! Perfection!
