I really enjoyed that book and the whole “alone in space” vibe it gives off. Are there any more like it?

EDIT: Jeez i can’t reply to you all. I wish there was a way to compile all your suggestions into a Goodreads list, these all sound awesome!

    Also check Weir’s book Artemis. Not as good as the Martian or Project Hail Mary, but still pretty good.

      Had a hard time with this one and I’m not sure I ever figured out why. Initially I thought it was just a bit uninteresting but now I’m wondering if there’s more there. Not sure he writes his female protagonists all that well (which I can understand given you know, he’s not female).

        This was exactly my experience with Artemis. I had to stop halfway through because I really didn’t like the protagonist and reading her in first person was torturous for me

        Ugh I was severely disappointed tbh. Short, unsatisfying, not nearly as science heavy as his other hits. Ended so abruptly too. Idk I was left unsatisfied
