Reading Life In Outer Space made me feel like I was at a comic book convention or a book conference, because I felt totally surrounded by people who were just like me. I love absolutely everything about Life in Outer Space! It’s full of cool characters that you want to be friends with, great dialogue, pop culture references galore, and hilarious moments that will have you laughing out loud. But perhaps he’s been watching the wrong ones. Sam is determined to ignore her, except that Camilla has a plan of her own – and he seems to be a part of it! Sam believes that everything he needs to know he can learn from the movies. She’s beautiful, friendly and completely irrelevant to his plan. Then Camilla Carter arrives on the scene. He has his horror movies, his nerdy friends, World of Warcraft – and until Princess Leia turns up in his bedroom, worry about girls he won’t. Sam Kinnison is a geek, and he’s totally fine with that.

I loved it so much that I’ve read it twice, and I loved it even more the second time around. I was lucky enough to get to read it back in December and I fell in love with it from the first line. Life in Outer Space sounded wonderful and exactly my sort of book. The goal of the project is to help debut YA authors get published.

Ever since I’d read that Melissa Keil would be the first author to be published as part of The Ampersand Project I was curious to read it.
