About this listen
Teen boys find love when their parents' NASA mission uproots their lives in this sweet debut perfect for Adam Silvera fans.
As a successful social media journalist with half a million followers, 17-year-old Cal is used to sharing his life online. But when his pilot father is selected for a highly publicized NASA mission to Mars, Cal and his family relocate from Brooklyn to Houston and are thrust into a media circus.
Amidst the chaos, Cal meets sensitive and mysterious Leon, another "Astrokid", and finds himself falling head over heels - fast. As the frenzy around the mission grows, so does their connection. But when secrets about the program are uncovered, Cal must find a way to reveal the truth without hurting the people who have become most important to him.
Expertly capturing the thrill of first love and the self-doubt all teens feel, debut author Phil Stamper is a new talent to watch.

A Beautiful Story; A Must Read!
This was a beautifully written story. As always, the performance of the main narrator, Michael Crouch was amazing! A captivating story of the way in which young Queer people fumble through first love.

Such an in-depth book that weaves all aspects of a story together
There were so many small details that really drew you into the world. The starlight episodes that updated you on what the characters didn’t. And how true all the characters stayed to their morals, but still grew and learnt how to become better stronger people.

Wow.
I loved this book
From the writing and the characters, to the plot and the narrators. It was incredible.
What exactly made it amazing, I’m unsure. I think possibly the relatability of the characters, and just the different kind of story?
Definitely looking forward to getting Phil Stamper’s other book!

Cringe
I'm sorry but this was just such a cringe-worthy book, It radiated the energy of a netflix show for teens written by a team of out of touch older millenials. The portrayal of social media was so weird, the same way in teen shows the use of apps and texting is just awkward.., Basically if Buzzfeed produced fiction stories to convince the 'youths' that they are cool, hip & in the know, it would be this.
The romance plot was so boring & I didn't feel like there was any real emotion in it. The premise was fine but the direction it went in was just an odd choice.
Narration was great though,
