The Stars Too Fondly
The Stars Too Fondly | Emily Hamilton
6 posts | 3 read | 6 to read
A breathtaking sapphic romcom in the vein of Casey McQuiston and Becky Chambers. When a group of post-grad students accidentally launch a decommissioned rocket, they have nothing to rely on apart from each other -- and the ship's mysterious AI -- to help them get home. Part sci-fi, part sapphic rom-com, The Stars Too Fondly follows four friends who break into a storied spaceship with a mysterious past and accidentally blast off to a planet lightyears away, with a hologram of the ship's previous captain as their only guide (and an improbable, impossible love interest). Emily's novel is the perfect mix of found family, interdimensional travel, and the galaxy-saving power of love.

Finished my first book for #auldlangspine! This wasn‘t on my radar at all as I don‘t read a ton of sci-fi anymore. I thought the characters acted a little young to be in their late 20s. However, I really loved this book and all the characters.

A group of friends break into a defunct spaceship. It takes off and they have to figure out how to survive. Also, romance! Great book!

I was really torn between advancing James or Sorcery and Small Magics in my bracket, but I knew it was a bit of a moot point in the end since The Stars Too Fondly has long since been my favorite book of the year. Doing a book bracket is always such a fun way to track yearly reading. Thanks for putting this one together @CSeydel #BookBracket2024

CSeydel Terrific reading year! 2w
kspenmoll I was torn between James & Zorrie. In the end, Zorrie won out 2w

I really thought I knew how my best books for the first half of the year were gonna go and it involved Alexandra Rowland going head to head but then The Stars Too Fondly came in and knocked everything else out of the park! I strongly suspect it will be my favorite book of the year. #topread2024 #readingbracket2024 @CSeydel

peanutnine Ooo now I'm even more intrigued by that one! 👀👀 7mo

Wow wow wow did I love this. A group of twenty-somethings accidentally steal a defunct spaceship when it takes off while they're exploring it. Fortunately the captain from the crew that dissapeared twenty years ago when the dark matter engine first started up uploaded her consciousness to the computer and her AI persona is there to help them. If she and Cleo can stop bickering for 5 seconds, that is. Queer found family space opera at its finest.

julesG Twenty-somethings you say? I thought it was YA and passed it. It goes onto #MountTBR 7mo
rachelsbrittain @julesG I also thought it was YA going in so maybe a marketing issue there, but the protagonists are actually in their late twenties! 7mo
willaful I find it harder and harder to tell what's YA and what's not... 7mo
