Yume Kitasei's The Deep Sky is an enthralling sci fi thriller debut about a mission …
A killer speculative fiction debut. Kitasei rejuvenates the "what's gone wrong on the deep-space mission" genre by interspersing scenes from the characters' youth, as they vy to be among the internationally selected crew to colonize Planet X. The memories add depth to the current relationships on board, and ramp up tension on the ethical uncertainties involved in the mission, which has attracted plenty of earthly opposition from environmental, nationalist and men's rights groups. Overall a refreshing and upbeat thriller with a likeable protagonist who overcomes self-doubt and imposter syndrome. Seems appropriate for young adult audiences as well.
Creative, scary-as-shit horror that will make you concerned about how you get your dopamine

An enjoyable girlfriends mystery in the style Big Little Lies, but I found the characterization perplexing. Its supposed to be a wealthy neighborhood but the neighborhood busybody eats Hamburger Helper? I keep wondering if it was supposed to be the eighties but they have text messages so its clearly not. At any rate, that was just a small distraction from an otherwise fun murder mystery with plenty of twists.
