Love is Just a Planet Away by Eva Phillips is a women's science fiction novel that follows a woman named Ava who boldly goes where no reader has gone before: to another planet. Ava is in a less than ideal relationship but, as it is for most, love leaves us blind and clinging to the hope that someone can change. And if that can't be done on Earth, why not give it a shot on Earth2? At least that's what the British starlet footballing boyfriend and soon-to-be fiancé Luca says. After some careful consideration, Ava makes the move in the hope of a fresh start on a new planet. Unfortunately, as she soon learns, the phrase 'location, location, location' does not apply to one's love life, professional life, or, really, any other part of life. In fact, when push comes to shove, Ava ends up surrounded by more hot water than she could have ever imagined and most of it comes down to three words: brain-change-business. “Are you trying to say that the problem is not the planet, but me? Does it really come down to such an obvious and trivial statement?”

I admit I did a light-speed fly-by, passing Eva Phillips' Love is Just a Planet Away more than once before I picked it up and decided to give it a go. In the interests of full disclosure, I am a man and while I like female-centric stories, the idea of love on another planet wasn't exactly my cup of synthetic coffee. But ... I loved it! Truly. It's witty and engaging and hilarious. The best way I can describe it is a rom-com science fiction story without any 'pew-pew-pew' space opera-ing. It could probably be located on Earth, although Earth2 definitely kicks the tension up a notch, given that one cannot simply catch the next spaceship out. The intrigue elements of a shady business that Ava gets ensnarled in by a mere arm's length offer an extra layer of oomph to the story of her fiasco of a love life. Bridget Jones in space? Maybe. Recommended as a summer read? Absolutely!
