To say Romy Silvers has a unique life is putting it mildly. She is the only surviving crew member of a spaceship sent from Earth on a mission to establish a second home for humanity on a new planet. When she’s not performing routine maintenance on the ship or responding to messages from Earth, she does school work, exercises, plays the piano, and writes fanfiction about her favorite tv show. But being the only crew member has its pitfalls. She is the loneliest girl in the universe; that is, until she learns that a new ship has left Earth with a boy called J on board. Their only way to communicate is through email; however, like her communications with Earth, they take months to transmit across space. But Romy finds herself drawn to J, excited that he seems to understand and care about her. But can you fall in love with someone you’ve never met or even spoken to? With a growing conflict on Earth putting the mission in jeopardy, will Romy solve the mystery behind the strange messages she receives from a home planet she’s never known as well as solve the mystery of her heart before J’s ship catches up to hers?
