"Heartpounding, heartwarming, and flat-out fantastic, this book is as brilliant and beautiful as the stars! I laughed, I cried, I cheered -- I absolutely loved it! A new favorite!" -- Sarah Beth Durst, award-winning author of The Bone Maker "A perfect hope-punk science fantasy that reminds me of Doctor Who in all the best ways. The Stars Too Fondly is magnificent in its spaceship stealing adventure and twisty plot. Where Emily Hamilton excels is the bonds between friends and loved ones that stretch between light-years and dimensions with the comfort of a weighted blanket. It is an achingly beautiful and hilariously funny debut." -- K.B. Wagers, author of A Pale Light in the Black "The Stars Too Fondly is a sparkling debut filled with found family, queer joy, and a delightful romance that made me swoon. It hooked me from the start, and I couldn't put it down as I rooted for Cleo to find her way home--both literally and figuratively.

I adored every word, and I can't wait to see what Emily Hamilton writes next!" -- Jessie Mihalik, author of Hunt the Stars "The Stars Too Fonldy is a romantic, joyful, and often poignant sci-fi romp that scratched an itch I didn't know I had. An utter delight." -- Hannah Fergesen, author of The Infinite Miles "The vacuum of space is anything but dark when your found family is with you. This cozy space opera is delightful and full of heart." -- Al Hess, author of World Running Down and Key Lime Sky ? "The fate of the world rests in the hands of a ragtag group of queers stuck on a spaceship bound for Proxima Centauri. Even though they live in the future, their concerns are all too familiar: astrology, quoting Mary Oliver, watching The Watermelon Woman, and processing their feelings. Emily Hamilton's debut is as addictive as it is funny, and as interstellar as it is human." -- Amelia Possanza, author of Lesbian Love Story.
