The Stars Too Fondly (2024)
Emily Hamilton
"Emily Hamilton's The Stars Too Fondly begins as a quippy heist with an endearing cast, then evolves into a space comedy that has as many thoughtful explorations of the inner-workings of dark matter as the - equally complicated - relationships that make up a found family. This highly self-aware novel prioritizes care and connection, without sacrificing any of the fun of space (mis)adventure. Because sometimes saving the world starts with saving each other. I cannot wait to see readers who love Tamsyn Muir's Gideon and Harrow go absolutely feral for Cleo and Billie."
