Girlfriend on Mars by Deborah Willis is a captivating exploration of love, longing, and the complexities of modern relationships, all set against the backdrop of a reality TV show to snag the first seats to Mars. The story follows Amber and Kevin. Amber deals with the turbulence of the romantic relationship she left behind to participate in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity—in addition to the interpersonal chaos of said once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Meanwhile, Kevin is left to tend to the cannabis plants and wonder why Amber wants to be so far away. Willis's unique voice and rich imagery invite readers to reflect on their own relationships, making it a thought-provoking read for anyone interested in the intersections of love and science fiction.
