"When you’re abandoned unconscious at the age of three in a trash can, you’re pretty well placed to understand that love doesn’t count for much. Because that’s it, that’s my history, nuts as it may seem: thrown away like an old tissue, rescued in extremis by paramedics, revived in hospital, thrown out to social services. Love has never been a part of my life, and it’s not going to be making a surprise entrance now"
What initially caught my eye about this book was definitely the cover; it's so eye-catching, and just completely draws you in. The premise of the book itself is also intriguing; 6 girls and 6 boys are chosen to board a single spaceship, and each week they have 6 minutes to seduce each other and make a choice - with the aim of developing a fertile human colony on Mars. All under the eyes of the on-board cameras. This has a real Teen&YA vibe, but also a mixture of Fantasy and Science Fiction.
I'm really intrigued to learn more about the candidates, and why each one has chosen to put themselves forward. I think this is definitely a book i'll be looking for in my local library!
