The Loneliest Girl in the Universe

“The Loneliest Girl in the Universe” is a standalone novel written by Lauren James. This novel follows main character Romy Silvers who is the only surviving crew-member of a spaceship that is travelling to a new planet, on a mission to start a second home for humanity amongst the stars. Romy is alone in space, she is the loneliest girl in the universe until she hears about a new ship which has launched from Earth and aboard the ship is a single passenger, a boy called J. Romy and J's only communication with each other is via email which is due to the distance between them, their messages take months to transmit across space. And yet Romy finds herself falling in love.

This novel was fast paced. I, at times felt bad for Romy, due to her being alone, having lost her parents and that she has no new tv series and movies, which must really suck. Romy is somewhat annoying at times. I also had a feeling that J was not really who he seemed to be. It was a pretty average book, so I gave the novel a 3/5 stars.
