Across the Void by S.K. Vaughn ★☆☆☆☆

Oh this was bad.

The way it was marketed I expected Interstellar, with a dash of 2010, and enough romance to bring me to tears. It was none of those things.

Maryann Knox is the most dislikable character of the year. Imagine Lorie Grimes filled with vitriol. Now make it worse, make her think she’s funny. 

The humor fell flat, it was continuous, low, and grating. And I like British humor. 

There was no redeeming hard science fiction.  (Wow, that’s amazing, how does it work? Uh... that’s propriety.)

There was no redeeming romance. (I felt terrible for Steven. But if you marry a mean spirited, lying, foul mouthed, career focused, self-loathing, self-righteous bitch, you get what you get.)

And the overall story? Days of Our Lives has born more realistic heartfelt plots.

This was so bad. 

*audible note: Bournemouth is now my least favorite British accent. The Texas accent portrayed was so bad I screamed curses at my iPhone. Also Eve, Maryanne’s mother, had a thick foreign accent for no reason. Other than saying she was black I don’t recall anything about her not being from England. This was painful on all fronts.
