Can you fall in love with someone you've never met, never even spoken to – someone who is light years away? Romy Silvers is the only surviving crew-member of a spaceship travelling to a new planet, on a mission to establish a second home for humanity. Alone in space, she is the loneliest girl in the universe until she hears about a new ship which has launched from Earth – with a single passenger on board. A boy called J. Their only communication is via email – and due to the distance between them, their messages take months to transmit. And yet Romy finds herself falling in love.

But what does Romy really know about J? And what do the mysterious messages which have started arriving from Earth really mean? Sometimes, there's something worse than being alone...

Reviews for Loneliest Girl in the Universe

“Gripping psychological thriller with a very relatable heroine.” * The Bookseller * “The Loneliest Girl in the Universe is shocking and brutal and has the best twist I've ever read. The sinister realism of Romy's situation is as terrifying as it is gripping, and I was rooting for her from beginning to end.” * Alice Oseman * ""This book moves at full throttle from beginning to end. James isn’t just headed for the stars – they're already there."" * Samantha Shannon * “Romy’s plight resonates on a deeply primal, unsettling level […] James is a genius at building tension […] A fantastic slow-build drama.” * SFX magazine, 5 star review * “The Loneliest Girl is a page-turning science fiction thriller with some terrific twists.” * Philip Reeve *
