Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff

This book!!!! This has seriously got to be the coolest book I’ve ever read. Not in the sense that it’s like currently popular, but in the fact that it’s written through IMs, memos, notes, etc and it was so very intriguing. You get to know the characters through their messages with one another and just about everything is important. There aren’t any fillers, it’s just nonstop awesomeness and action. 

Kady is also my new hero. She says and does what she wants and actually fights for what she believes in. There aren’t really many people who are like that in real life. Real people are so very filtered. And as for Ezra, anyone who says, “as you wish” to someone else is alright in my book.

By the last 100 pages, I was so wholly invested and couldn’t wait to see how it ended and then the end slammed into my face and I about fell over!!!!!! I’ve got a lot of other books to read, but Gemina (The Illuminae Files, #2) by Amie Kaufman has just moved to the top of my list. I recommend this one to anyone who loves science fiction, young adult, a dash of love, humanity, and/or reading something totally different.
