Deborah Willis’ darkly humorous and timely debut novel braids reality TV and the climate crisis with billionaire-sponsored space travel.

The protagonist, Amber, enters a reality TV contest whose winners will be the first permanent couple on Mars. As she gets closer to her goal of leaving the planet, Amber’s long-time boyfriend Kevin has to reckon with the possibility of being left behind. We’re excited to welcome Deborah to the library for a thought-provoking discussion about what we’re willing to do to find meaning in our lives.
