I gave this two stars because I was honestly invested in the space aspect of this book, it came off as a topic the author was actually into in his real life. However, the book tried to make us like an absolutely annoying, unlikeable main character and his rushed teen romance. A romance that did nothing to make you want to root for them nor gave life to the MCs love interest, Leon. Their relationship just went from them meeting --> like --> love, in 1.5 weeks.
The conflict between the main character and his best friend seemed unsolved.
And since when would NASA care about hiring a pilot that worked at Delta because his son had 500k followers to help *BOOST* their ratings among teens/young people? lol, that was dumb.
Would I recommend this book? No.
