Her
He asked me to tutor him in the eleventh grade. That was the first time my young heart fell out of rhythm. By senior year, we were best friends, and my unconditional love for him had awakened. By the time we finished college, I experienced my first heartbreak.
He’d chosen another. Someone that wasn’t me.
He’s still my best friend. I love him. All I need is for him to love me the way I’ve always loved him, but now I’ve embarked upon another problem…
I’m falling in love with someone else.
Is it too late for us? Why can’t he see me? See that I’m the only woman who can love him efficiently.
Him
The first time I laid eyes on her; time stopped. I vowed to never let her go and accepted the tormenting role of being her best-friend. I wanted to be her lover.
I courted others unwillingly, because she sought men that weren’t me.
She’s the air that I breathe. No one else compares to her.
Am I invisible? Why can’t she see me? See that I’m the only man who can fill her hollow places.

The acclaimed modern science fiction masterpiece, included on Library Journal’s Best SFF of 2016, the Barnes & Nobles Sci-Fi Fantasy Blog Best Books of 2015, the Tor.com Best Books of 2015, Reader’s Choice, as well as nominated for the Arthur C.

Follow a motley crew on an exciting journey through space—and one adventurous young explorer who discovers the meaning of family in the far reaches of the universe—in this light-hearted debut space opera from a rising sci-fi star.
Rosemary Harper doesn’t expect much when she joins the crew of the aging Wayfarer. While the patched-up ship has seen better days, it offers her a bed, a chance to explore the far-off corners of the galaxy, and most importantly, some distance from her past. An introspective young woman who learned early to keep to herself, she’s never met anyone remotely like the ship’s diverse crew, including Sissix, the exotic reptilian pilot, chatty engineers Kizzy and Jenks who keep the ship running, and Ashby, their noble captain.
Life aboard the Wayfarer is chaotic and crazy—exactly what Rosemary wants. It’s also about to get extremely dangerous when the crew is offered the job of a lifetime. Tunneling wormholes through space to a distant planet is definitely lucrative and will keep them comfortable for years. But risking her life wasn’t part of the plan. In the far reaches of deep space, the tiny Wayfarer crew will confront a host of unexpected mishaps and thrilling adventures that force them to depend on each other. To survive, Rosemary’s got to learn how to rely on this assortment of oddballs—an experience that teaches her about love and trust, and that having a family isn’t necessarily the worst thing in the universe.

When a family tragedy struck, Ella Moretti left college behind and returned home to her small town of Willow Cove. She had only planned on staying for a few weeks, but seven years later she’s still working in her family’s restaurant and living with her grandfather.

After a long miserable day of travel, to stay with a grandfather he only met a few years ago, Lucas Prescott is instantly taken by the gorgeous brunette sitting next to him. It’s not until the next day that he learns their grandfathers are embattled in a decades old rivalry that threatens to keep them apart.

>>See that I’m the only woman who can love him efficiently.<< Is the heroine...a robot?
ROTFLMAO!
I enjoyed reading The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet.
@Kareni: To me it read like Firefly fanfiction, and not a particularly well done take on it. I was so disappointed, it sounded really cool in theory.
@Rose, it’s possible that I now need to read Firefly fanfiction to see what I’m missing! The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet isn’t a book I’ll likely be rereading soon (as I do with my true favorites), but it was sufficiently entertaining that I went on to read the two sequels.
