A unique take on a YA SciFi story.
Star Splitter is hard to review without completely giving away spoilery plot points.
The chapters alternate between a 'Before' and 'After'. Essentially splitting the timeline, showing how Jessica's story unfolds and eventually collides with...itself. In a way.
It was a bit confusing for me in moments to keep up with what (and where and who) was going on, but the story is so intriguing I really didn't mind the confusion and weirdly, I think it added to the reading experience.
There's mention of Jessica liking her friend back on Earth, but no romance in the plot whatsoever. There is plenty of planetary exploration, scifi-y stuff, and some hold-your-breath, thrilling moments making the story overall, quite enjoyable. I found myself reading quickly simply to know what happens next. Would I read it again though? Probably not.
