Adorable.Īnd I enjoyed the turmoil that extra guests on the ship brought-I LIKE jealousy.


You could tell when they were hanging out he was desperate for someone he could talk to, relate to, be friends with…she would try to read and he’d continue talking to her and.agh those were just my favorite parts. I’ll admit he broke my heart quite a few times. They begin to get closer, to hang out at their standing ‘reading appointments’ every night, and begin to form a bond that starts to ease the ache that being the captain of a ship brings. When Stella gets the job on his ship, he immediately has a connection to her. Uncertain of himself, lonely, determined not to make the wrong decisions…but with a heart of gold and a quirky personality. Hugo was absolutely breathtakingly adorable. Especially, as many will probably agree, the captain. I just loved the two main characters so much. I knew I had to read it right away-and I’m so glad I did. Oh well, right? But then, one night when I had been having a bad day, I came home to the most exciting and unexpected package-this beauty of an arc.

This is one of those times where I emailed the publisher and didn’t expect any response-and I didn’t get one. This in no way influenced my review-my opinions are my own** **Many thanks to HMH Books for Young Readers for sending me an ARC. But with Stella he’s kind.īut the Rochester harbors secrets: Stella is certain someone is trying to kill Hugo, and the more she discovers, the more questions she has about his role in a conspiracy threatening the fleet. The captain of the Rochester, nineteen-year-old Hugo Fairfax, is notorious throughout the fleet for being a moody recluse and a drunk. When a private ship hires her as a governess, Stella jumps at the chance. Her home is a floundering spaceship that offers few prospects, having been orbiting an ice-encased Earth for two hundred years. Seventeen-year-old Stella Ainsley wants just one thing: to go somewhere-anywhere-else.
