For a ticket to Earth, seventeen-year-old Anna-Maria “Ann”
Solano is willing to jettison her birth planet, best friend, and the boy who
loves her. Especially since all she’s required to do is escort Dace Keeling, a
young naturalist, through the wilderness of the partially terraformed planet
Eco. Ann‘s determination to escape the limitations of her small, frontier
colony never falters, until Dace’s expeditions uncover three secrets. One
offers riches, one shatters Ann’s perceptions of herself, and one reveals that
the humans stranded on Eco are not its only inhabitants.
Ann’s willing to sacrifice friendship and love for a new
life on Earth. But when an entire species is placed in jeopardy by her actions,
she must make a choice – fulfill the dream that’s always sustained her, or save
the planet she’s never considered home.

REVIEW:
Now how should I put my feelings about this book into an informative and honest review? Well, for starters this book was freaking phenomenal! I could not put this book down for the life of me. AND! I could not stop swooning at this gorgeous book cover!
This book encompassed everything my Bookish Self needed. It had the perfect amount of Science Fiction, Otherworldly, Space Adventure, kickass fun perfectly woven throughout it. And let's just say that the Main Character was on point! Ann was totally someone who was just the right amount of relatable and badass to make me root for her the whole book.
The descriptiveness of the author (Vicki L Weavil) was wonderful and kept me whole-heartedly engaged into the story. The writing flowed very smoothly and was very easy to read and in so very quick to enjoy. I just wanted to jump into this book and live in it!
When's book two coming out?! I need it now please!
