Nowhere on Earth by Nick Lake is one of those books where you need to stop and reflect on it for months on end. It is a beautiful sci-fi, and there were moments in the book where I forgot I was reading a book. However, there was also a lot of suspension of disbelief in the novel that I let slide because it is supposed to be a sci-fi, maybe those things work in that world?
It took me until we meet Emily's parents in the mountain to like Emily because that's when you got to see the depth of Emily and how she changes as a character. I would have loved it more if the pilot had maybe questioned why they were stowed away on his plane a bit more, but it could have been because he was still traumatized from the crash?
I finished it in two days and am still thinking about it over a month later, so it did make an impact on me. I yet don't know which one.
4 out of 5 stars.
