Ich wollte mal ein anderes Genre probieren und Science Fiction hat mich immer schon angesprochen. “Last Seen Online” hat mir schon sehr gute gefallen, doch “the loneliest Girl in the Universe” ist auf einem anderen Level. Ich habe dieses Buch in 2 Tagen gelesen und die Plot Twist haben mich richtig gekriegt. Romy ist ein starker Charakter und es war faszinierend zu sehen wie einfach man Menschen manipulieren kann. Am besten hat mir jedoch das Setting auf dem Raumschiff gefallen.
Argh I don't know how to feel about this one. I loved the other books by Lauren James which I have read so far (GREEN RISING and THE QUIET AT THE END OF THE WORLD). But this one... Maybe it's because of the genre (thriller). It was a bit too heavy for me, to be honest. It was still wonderfully written and totally addictive. It's just that I felt that a story about a girl alone in the universe could have been more epic, more fantastical than what it actually has come down to.
This book should get a lot more attention. It's definitely a book I will never forget.
