Set in the future in space. The main girl (Lilac) is 16-17 and the main guy (Tarver) is 18. They begin their time together as grudging companions, but through many near death experiences and close calls, their relashionship forms a bond that keeps them together!
These was the 1 bed trope, that starts only out of neccesity to not die of cold, but then they discover they like eachother more.

As time goes on, Lilac starts to hear strange voices and see things that Tarver cant. They first thought she was hallucinating, then they thought she was haunted, but now they know it's actually a life force on the planet that is trying to get their attention and help them.

SPOILER!!! Lilac does die when she is hit with shrapnel. Tarver buries her, but the next morning he finds her next to him. Neither fully know what happens, but they think the life force brought her back as a copy. I was a bit disturbed when I was reading at night.

Definetly a good read for those who think this description sounds cool! It was just not quite right for me.
