“An interesting exploration of individuality, family and how they often conflict. . . . Exhilarating YA science fiction.” —Shelf Awareness, starred review
“Starts off as an appealing survival story, then moves into an exploration of family and relationships, while maintaining its pace.” —School Library Journal
“The book opens with the plane crash and the pace never slows. . . . For all the action and thrills, though, there is a strong emotional center here.” —The Bulletin
“The overall message about connecting and empathy is deeply felt, as is Emily’s coming-of-age and understanding of her place in the universe as a young woman with her own voice.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Deftly weaving elements of science fiction into a tale of survival and personal (re)growth, Lake takes on sexual assault, family discord, and what it means to rebuild in the face of trauma. Both completely alien and yet all-too-relatable, Emily and Aidan’s story will help readers think more deeply about the world around them.” —Booklist
