Al Hess, author of World Running Down
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 favourite
Sarah Beth Durst, award-winning author of THE SPELL SHOP
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
A perfect hope-punk science fantasy that reminds me of Doctor Who in all the best ways. <i>The Stars Too Fondly</i> 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 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.

Emily Hamilton's <i>The Stars Too Fondly </i>begins as a quippy heist with an endearing cast then evolves into a space comedy that has as many thoughtful explorations of the inner-workings dark matter as the - equally complicated - relationships that make up a found family. This highly self-aware novel prioritizes care and connection, without sacrificing any of the fun of space (mis)adventure. Because sometimes saving the world starts with saving each other. I cannot wait to see readers who love Tamsyn Muir's Gideon and Harrow go absolutely feral for Cleo and Billie
Micaiah Johnson, author of Those Beyond the Wall and The Space Between Worlds
Funny and charming, The Stars Too Fondly perfectly balances Starfleet 'can do' attitude, punk swagger, and cozy rom-com vibes. Emily Hamilton's debut is a wildly original tale that feels cozy and epic at the same time. My Trekkie heart adored it
Mike Chen, New York Times bestselling author of A Quantum Love Story
The found family of the friends is at the heart of the characters' actions, and Hamilton deftly keeps the story moving through action and emotion. . . .This delightful debut is a space odyssey with just enough mystery and romance to keep readers thoroughly entertained
Library Journal
