Summary
Asteroid X-2050 is a Torino Scale 10. This means two things: one, that all known life will perish should the asteroid collide with Earth, and two, that the asteroid will definitely collide with Earth.
Jung Jinsol has a double postgraduate in Physics and Robotics and a year of space training too many; she's the best fit for dying to save the planet.

Summary
Maddy Perez has gotten very good at fine. Eight months at Mel’s Diner, longer sleeves when she needs them, never stopping moving long enough for anyone to look too close. Nineteen days since Nate’s family relocated to New York and took him with them — not because she got out, but because he simply stopped having access to her. She is still waiting for the other shoe.
Then a tall woman in a worn navy jacket starts coming into the diner. Tips like she’s making a point. Never makes it a moment. Comes back anyway.
The thing is, Rue Bennett recognizes Maddy immediately. Maddy doesn’t recognize her at all — the last version of Rue she has stored is the one from high school, hollowed out and barely there. The woman who keeps sitting in the window booth is so different, so present, that she reads as a stranger.
Until she doesn’t.
This is a story about learning that presence without threat is a real thing that exists. That warmth doesn’t always have a hidden cost. And about two women who have to learn — slowly, imperfectly, on their own terms — how to say the real thing out loud. Like they mean it

Summary
Sixty-seven days clean, and Rue Bennett’s first real test is a graduation party she only agreed to because Lexi asked and nobody says no to Lexi.
She wasn’t expecting Maddy Perez.
She wasn’t expecting a lot of things — the way a drink spilled between them could turn into thirty minutes against a wall, or the way Maddy looks when she thinks nobody’s watching, or the specific feeling of standing next to someone who’s also in the middle of rebuilding something and not quite ready to name what they’re building.
This is a story about two girls who never really knew each other learning how to know themselves first. About recovery that isn’t linear and healing that doesn’t announce itself. About the slow, inconvenient, slightly terrifying thing that happens when someone sees you — actually sees you — right when you’re figuring out who you are.
It takes a while. It’s worth it.
edit: went back and fixed some internal inconsistencies throughout (timeline/day-count stuff, mostly) — should read cleaner now. also added 2 bonus chapters at the end for anyone who wants a little more time with these two. enjoy 💛
