By: Shaun David Hutchinson

"When Noa closes his eyes on Earth and wakes up on a spaceship called Qriosity just as it’s about to explode, he’s pretty sure things can’t get much weirder.

Trapped aboard Qriosity are also DJ and Jenny, neither of whom remember how they got onboard the ship. Together, the three face all the dangers of space, along with murder, aliens, a school dance, and one really, really bad day. But none of this can prepare Noa for the biggest challenge—falling in love. And as Noa’s feelings for DJ deepen, he has to contend not just with the challenges of the present, but also with his memories of the past.

However, nothing is what it seems on Qriosity, and the truth will upend all of their lives forever.

Title: A Complicated Love Story Set In Space

Author: Shaun David Hutchinson

Genre: YA Fiction | Romance | Friendship | Sci-fi | Mystery | Drama | LGBTQ+

Content Warnings: Death | Sexual Assault

Overall Rating: 10/10

Personal Opinion: An absolutely mind-blowing book. You will not anticipate the plot twist whatsoever. The title also tells you everything you need to know about the book. It’s a love story between Noa and DJ, and unfortunately, it’s incredibly complicated and they happen to be in space. What could be more exciting than that? Seriously, I really don’t think I can say much without spoiling anything, it’s just such a good book.

Couple Classification: Noa North X DJ Storm = Goth (?) X Nerd

Do I Own This Book? No but I would not mind.

Spoilers Below For My Likes & Dislikes:

Likes:

- I am shooketh. I never would have seen that plot twist coming in a million years but it makes so much sense. The way DJ had been acting from the very start was suspect. Why was he so obsessed with Noa who kept pushing him away? Why didn’t he seem to want to go home as badly as Noa did? Why did he talk about Noa like he knew Noa better than him when they had just met? Why did Noa feel like they met once before? It’s because they had! They were already in love in the past! My god, when we learned that they were all just puppets for Production, I was just in shock. It’s such a good twist too! It explains Kayla’s whole existence and why she said Noa should’ve died. It also explains why the monster had suddenly appeared despite the fact that none of them noticed it before. Like, this book just utterly blew my mind.

- Noa, in the beginning, felt like a trial to endure. He was not that likeable and I absolutely did not understand what DJ thought was so appealing about him. But mostly, I just could not understand why Noa was so determined to push DJ away. Why was he so bitter about love and why did he seem repulsed by DJ’s touch? And then we got the reveal of his traumatic backstory and I just wanted to hug him so bad. And also beat Billy with a bat. Whoever he actually did that to, I hope you’re thriving. And I hope Billy is rotting somewhere or someone made good on DJ’s promise and broke his arms.

- Jenny is the best. She’s so hilarious, first of all. She’s got sass, she’s spunky, she’s a good friend to boot. I love that she forgave her killer and also made out with him. But also her saying, “Every family needs one” in response to Noa saying, “You’re the weird guy who killed Jenny,” had me in stitches. Jenny, overall, is just a fantastic character because she’s just an overall badass with a decent heart. Not to mention, her skulking around the Qriosity really proved to be genius on her part. I see why she was meant to be the main character originally.

- DJ and Noa are an adorable couple once they actually got together. Their first date in the oxygen garden, their first kiss in the radiator room, their first time in the shuttle, the way they both tried to sacrifice themselves for each other, ugh, they have my whole heart. I was just on the edge of my seat with the way DJ tried to do everything to help Noa and watching Noa slowly but surely open up to him. It was just beautiful to witness.

- It’s too real that the majority of students that died were all queer side characters. Bury your gays indeed. So I love that the show with ratings gold ended up being the one DJ hijacked into being about a gay love story. Fuck Production and their scripts! I don’t know how realistic it is for a queer program to have such high ratings but I’d like to believe in it. Especially since all three main characters are queer.

- I adore the formatting of this book. The way the time loop section was split into chapters of exponentially increasing numbers to show what number loop we were in was genius. It also made it easier to follow the loops. I also think it’s so real that Noa would start by trying to make it as fun as possible before essentially going crazy trying to stop the loops. And even though it was a simulation, it made me proud to see him going to therapy in Bell’s Cove. It also made me proud that Jenny was the one to suggest it.

- The cover is genius too. At first, I did not understand why it was a bucket of popcorn. Of course it’s a nod toward the plot twist! It’s clever without giving too much away and I think that’s what makes it a genius book cover.

- I’m not over the way DJ had acted toward Noa at the very beginning. When he said, “You don’t believe that,” when Noa said love isn’t real, I was so confused. I was like, bitch, who are you to tell a stranger how they feel? But it’s because DJ already knew him. As Nico! The way DJ describes being in love with Nico is just tragically romantic and the way he had listed out Noa’s good points was so captivating. But mostly, I just love that whenever DJ describes Noa, it is always Noa. Not Nico. He separates them so easily but he also still loves them both so fiercely. I mean, let’s be honest, that is just peak romance.

Dislikes:

- Bro, screw Production. I do wish I understood what Jenny Perez meant when she said that they had signed to do this voluntarily. If there’s a “season two” of this book, I hope it gets explained in that. But I don’t think I’m actually too mad about the holes that were left behind in this novel because I’m just so hyped up on that twist.

- Someone throw Billy into a ditch. I know it didn’t actually happen to Noa but it happened to someone and therefore, throw him in a ditch. Break his arms and then throw him into a ditch.

- Jenny Perez having fans that counted down until she was 18 to openly lust after her is too real. I honestly feel bad for her. She’s sadly just another puppet of Production.

But when Raffy is forced to partner with Luca on his most ambitious build yet, he'll have to juggle unresolved feelings for the boy who broke his heart, and his own intense self-doubt, to get everything he's ever wanted: choosing his art, his way.

Thankfully, Adrian is given an opportunity to avoid the impending scandal: a trip to the Caribbean to claim the last of his mother’s possessions. But along the way, Adrian discovers another secret lurking in his family tree. He is actually the youngest of three children—his sister Felicity and brother “Monty” went missing over a decade ago. Now Adrian has the chance to find them and offer to pass the estate back to the rightful heirs. Adrian expects to win his long-lost brother over with the promise of wealth and inheritance, while dreaming of a quiet life where Adrian doesn’t feel like a burden to anyone. But when Adrian finally tracks him down, Monty refuses to return home. The only thing he can convince Monty of is to accompany him across the ocean as an act of tribute to their mother, hoping that during the voyage he can persuade Monty into taking the weight of inheriting the estate off his shoulders. When they reach their destination, Adrian and Monty find something hidden in their mother’s belongings—a clue pointing to a valuable artifact that could potentially save the Montague siblings from a curse that threatens their lives. But to retrieve it, they must chase an infamous myth through the wild sugar fields of Barbados to the haunting streets of New Orleans to mysterious uncharted islands off the edge of the map.

And in Wayward Son, they wondered whether everything they understood about themselves might be wrong.

For Simon, that means deciding whether he still wants to be part of the World of Mages -- and if he doesn't, what does that mean for his relationship with Baz? Meanwhile Baz is bouncing between two family crises and not finding any time to talk to anyone about his newfound vampire knowledge.

The Heiress: The Revelations of Anne de Bourgh by Molly Greeley

As a fussy baby, Anne de Bourgh’s doctor prescribed laudanum to quiet her, and now the young woman must take the opium-heavy tincture every day. Growing up sheltered and confined, removed from sunshine and fresh air, the pale and overly slender Anne grew up with few companions except her cousins, including Fitzwilliam Darcy. Throughout their childhoods, it was understood that Darcy and Anne would marry and combine their vast estates of Pemberley and Rosings. But Darcy does not love Anne or want her. After her father dies unexpectedly, leaving her his vast fortune, Anne has a moment of clarity: what if her life of fragility and illness isn’t truly real? What if she could free herself from the medicine that clouds her sharp mind and leaves her body weak and lethargic? Might there be a better life without the medicine she has been told she cannot live without? In a frenzy of desperation, Anne discards her laudanum and flees to the London home of her cousin, Colonel John Fitzwilliam, who helps her through her painful recovery. Yet once she returns to health, new challenges await. Shy and utterly inexperienced, the wealthy heiress must forge a new identity for herself, learning to navigate a “season” in society and the complexities of love and passion. The once wan, passive Anne gives way to a braver woman with a keen edge—leading to a powerful reckoning with the domineering mother determined to control Anne’s fortune . . . and her life. An extraordinary tale of one woman’s liberation, The Heiress reveals both the darkness and light in Austen’s world, with wit, sensuality, and a deeply compassionate understanding of the human heart.

A Complicated Love Story Set in Space by Shaun David Hutchinson [Review]

Synopsis: When Noa closes his eyes on Earth and wakes up on a spaceship called Qriosity just as it's about to explode, he's pretty sure things can't get much weirder.

Boy is he wrong.

Trapped aboard Qriosity are also DJ and Jenny, neither of whom remember how they got onboard the ship. Together, the three face all the dangers of space, along with murder, aliens, a school dance, and one really, really bad day. But none of this can prepare Noa for the biggest challenge--falling in love. And as Noa's feelings for DJ deepen, he has to contend not just with the challenges of the present, but also with his memories of the past.

However, nothing is what it seems on Qriosity, and the truth will upend all of their lives forever.

Love is complicated enough without also trying to stay alive.

Star Rating: 4/5

My Thoughts: TW: depictions and discussions of sexual assault and past abuse

I was very excited for this book when it first came out because this synopsis was just so interesting to me. Unfortunately, this book has spent months on my unread shelf. I really wanted to get to it for Pride Month, however, and then I was even more excited to pick it up when I heard that this had an element of found family to it.

The found family aspect wasn’t exactly my favorite, mostly because one of our primary characters wasn’t really my favorite, but it was still really enjoyable. This whole book was enjoyable really.

This plot twist in this really took me by surprise! I was sure this was going in one way but it took a complete 180 and really shocked me. I love when books can knock me off my feet like that!

Overall, this was a really great read and I highly recommend it.
