The Stars Too Fondly

In her debut novel, The Stars Too Fondly, Emily Hamilton blends a space odyssey with a sapphic rom-com, telling the story of Cleo and her friends who inadvertently steal a spaceship while searching for answers about a long-lost crew. As they embark on a journey to Proxima Centauri, they grapple with a snarky hologram of the missing captain, Billie, and uncover mysteries that challenge the very fabric of physics. What starts as a quest for knowledge evolves into a deeper connection between Cleo and Billie, set against a backdrop of adventure, love, and the quest for belonging in the vast universe.
