The Loneliest Girl in the Universe by Wren James
A romance set in space from the beloved author of The Next Together series.“The Loneliest Girl in the Universe is shocking and brutal and has the best twist I've ever read. The sinister realism of Romy's situation is as terrifying as it is gripping, and I was rooting for her from beginning to end.” * Alice Oseman *
“Romy’s plight resonates on a deeply primal, unsettling level […] Lauren James is a genius at building tension […] A fantastic slow-build drama.” * SFX magazine, 5 star review *
“She's [Romy] strong, clever, logical and a fantastic role model for young adults; inspiring them to be strong and independent but to be unafraid of anxiety and having flaws. […] This book draws you into a false sense of security and warmth and then rips the floor out from under your feet when you least expect it. The story is compelling and I became completely absorbed in it as I flipped through the pages at warp speed on my various tube journeys over two days. The Loneliest Girl in the Universe should definitely be on the top of you TBR and I'm sure you'll race through it in no time. […] I'd definitely recommend this book. It's layered and emotional and the perfect read to get you out of a slump!” * Liv’s Bookish Life *
“James captures both an adolescent voice and mentality accurately, but the plotting and pacing is really where she excels. By the final third of the book it is impossible to stop turning the pages, desperate to know what happens next.” * The Irish Times Weekend *
