The Stars Too Fondly

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.
