17yo Ambrose wakes up on board the spaceship Coordinated Endeavor with no memory of the launch. The OS system is comforting and sounds just like his mother. Ambrose is not eager to get working on the necessary repairs he's been trained to perform, but then he meets the other astronaut, 17yo Kodiak. At first Kodiak is distant (and brooding) but eventually the two find that working together may be the only way they will survive the voyage and the rescue mission to save Ambrose's sister Minerva.
Space, mystery, romance, thriller all wrapped up in 1 LGBT YA Science fiction novel. The romance was steamy, but not the most important part of the story. The twists and turns were unexpected and exciting, sometimes troubling, and occasionally funny. I do think, however, that the characters read older than 17, and that this may also be of interest to adult readers - there's no plot related reason for them to be quite that young - except maybe "first love?"
