Even When Surrounded By Despair, Life Goes On...
5 stars
CW: This book discusses topics including (teen) suicide and drug use, and a key part of the plot involves characters trying to figure out whether their friend had committed suicide.
After the mysterious death of their mutual friend, Alea and Sam, two teens who had nothing to do with each other must team up to find out why Steven stepped out of the airlock of Outpost Zero, the remains of a generation ship crashed into an icy planet, into certain death. In order to solve this mystery they must explore the depths of both their home, their history, and the stories of their families. Outpost Zero explores what happens when a civilization (possibly the last civilization) is trapped in a domed town and how they can keep living even when the world is collapsing around them. (Hm, seems relatable.)
