Beyond Our Stars is a young adult science fiction novel recently published by Bloomsbury with their new imprint Spark.

Fleeing a destroyed Earth, seventeen-year-old orphan Hope grew up living in the confines of a spaceship heading to CR-3, a new home planet. She's been kicking the steel walls for too long and ever since she broke her boyfriend's heart, touchdown could mean open air and a fresh start. But no one expected the Locals.

Hope’s dreams of freedom turn into nightmares when the Locals trap the humans and mark groups for observation. At any moment she can be called into a holographic observation room for testing. Some days she’s drowning in a strange dark ocean, some days she’s locked up without food, and all with the one boy she can't seem to forget.

As the Locals study Hope, she studies them. She wants to believe the tall grey creatures could be peaceful, but as the simulations become more dangerous, Hope is about to become the human race’s last chance for survival.

Children of Chaos by emynemy

When former foster kid Adrianna sets out to enjoy the last summer with her adopted sisters before the oldest leaves for college, the last thing she expects is to find the man who knew their parents. Nor did they expect to learn their parents were part-alien from a system of planets known as the Diamond Realms, nor that each has the power to communicate with and control the natural elements. Danger looms from an alien threat that seeks to abuse their power, so the trio and two other girls with similar pasts join with their parent's people to escape across the galaxy to their parents' home planet Almnerixi. While her friends grapple with the responsibility of appearing as the mystical and beneficent Protectors to the people of the Diamond Realms, Adrianna struggles to balance her concept of family and herself with the feeling that she is falling further down the path of the prophesized Destroyer of magic and unity in the Realms.

Alliance by BEWheeler

Mel had a few goals in life. Nothing too crazy. Finish school, which she did. Continue the fishery with Dad, which she was doing. Someday she would settle down and build a family. Her plan was simple. Her life was simple. Then it was not. Rebels from the Wasteland had threatened the United Regions for months. People said the rebels wanted to find vengeance over their loss from the Rebel Uprising War twenty-five years before. Mel didn't take the threats and warnings of the rebels until she came face to face with one. One night, with her childhood home up in flames she learns new truths about her father. Her simple life dream is burnt to a crisp, which forces Mel to rethink everything. With no other option, Mel joins the Alliance, a specialized military branch of the King's Army. Alongside her mentor, Ben, and her fellow cadets, Mel must navigate a new world and create a new life. A life that would not be simple. Nor a life that Mel wanted. Welcome to the Alliance.

yours. by lovesick-dreamer

two boys. two houses. two hearts. Seventeen-year-old 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘀 has a long stretch of boring, lonely summer ahead of him. So when a new boy his age moves in next door, he sees an opportunity -- for what, he doesn't quite know yet. Meanwhile, 𝗝𝗮𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗿 just wants to move on from his haunting past and get a fresh start in his new home. He doesn't expect his new, annoyingly attractive neighbour to get in the way of that. Funny how time has a way of changing even the stubbornest of hearts. And, in the same way, has an awful way of breaking them. [mature for themes of self-harm and domestic violence]

Monachopsis by missaslynn

[mon-a-chop-sis] What am I to this world but a plastic bottle in the ocean? Thrown aside to get lost in the waves. An empty reminder of what once was forever stuck as a shell of what could have been. Maybe I could be something to her. Am I worthy to breathe the very oxygen that fills her lungs? Worthy enough to share my days beneath the sun and under the moonlight by her side? Or am I just a plastic bottle reflecting the sun light long enough to trick foolish eyes that I am a diamond? • Emily & Riley: A queer Story

Kadota (Love Trilogy) by Lisa_Evette

In the quiet desert village of Dey, living among the sand dunes and mirages, existed an anomaly - me. I was different, born without the ability to read, write or keep long memories. My scientist father hailed my uniqueness as a miracle, but my life was far from ordinary. To the village, I was just an oddity, a walking puzzle with missing pieces. My only solace was my best friend, always standing by me, his unspoken love for me etched in his affectionate gaze. We lived under a cruel regime with a population no more than a hundred. Every year, one of us would be chosen on the Counting Day, a ceremonious banishing ritual, to become yet another outcast to the floating prison island far off in the ocean - our village's dreaded version of population control. Our past criminals, defiant to government, and more terrifyingly, our loved ones gone missing, were thought to inhabit that island, their fate, a terrifying enigma. This year, as the Counting Day approached unrelentingly, and my loved one's life rested on borrowed time, I made a decision. I volunteered to be casted out. It was my turn to face the unknown with a hidden purpose - to locate my lost father who was sent there years ago.
