The loneliest girl in the universe

Nominated for the 2019 Carnegie medal One of Barnes & Noble's Top 15 YA Books Shortlisted for the STEAM Children's Book Prize Can you fall in love with someone you've never met, never even spoken to - someone who is light years away? Romy Silvers is the only surviving crew-member of a spaceship travelling to a new planet, on a mission to establish a second home for humanity. Alone in space, she is the loneliest girl in the universe until she hears about a new ship which has launched from Earth - with a single passenger on board. A boy called J. Their only communication is via email - and due to the distance between them, their messages take months to transmit. And yet Romy finds herself falling in love, but what does she really know about J?
