  “A super fun and queer space opera that follows a group of late twenty-somethings on a journey they never anticipated. This was a fun, engaging, and quick read. Any queer person out there will be able to see the roots of a found family in Cleo’s group — and the U-Haul lesbians U-Hauling at light speed. This was the book I needed to get out of a reading slump, so thank you Emily Hamilton for that and the group of queers that will be living rent free in my head for a while.”

  “If you love Becky Chambers’ A Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet or Ryka Aoki's Light from Uncommon Stars, you'll love Emily Hamilton's The Stars Too Fondly. A heist gone wrong, friends stuck in space, and an unthinkable love story between a young woman and the snary hologram of her childhood hero, The Stars Too Fondly is the next cozy sci-fi with queer rom-com vibes you've been waiting for.”

  —Kristin Saner, Fables Books, Goshen, IN
