About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a gentle, teen-leaning romance with a sci-fi backdrop and a road-adventure feel; Not for you if you need hard science, subtle emotion, or tight plotting like Ender’s Game.
Pros: sweet fish-out-of-water moments; intriguing Mars-to-Earth premise; generally likable cast | Cons: very sappy tone; predictable teen-romance beats; plot holes and dragging
