So, our main character Noa wakes up in a space suit, floating outside a spaceship, with no idea how or why he got there, sucking the reader in right away (or at least this reader). To the point I read this whole thing in pretty much one sitting.

Overall, this was kind of bizarre. The writing, the world building, and the circumstances the characters find themselves in...it starts to feel a bit choppy and underdeveloped, with threads left hanging or too easily resolved. And then all of a sudden, you reach the point in the book where the writing style and underdeveloped feeling just makes sense.

Interesting, different, kind of funny, kind of weird...maybe for fans of earlier A.S. King, David Arnold, or some of Andrew Smith's books? I will say, there is a TW in the very beginning for a sexual assault that may upset some readers.

Pretty solid book though. Plus, nice there was a sly little reference to a bunch of other YA authors just sort of worked in. Clever.
