The Loneliest Girl in the Universe by Lauren James (2017)

Romy is the only human left on her ship after an accident wipes out her crew — until she starts receiving messages from another spacecraft approaching hers. What begins as comfort turns into tension, paranoia, and revelation. James crafts psychological suspense with tenderness and dread in equal measure. It’s both a thriller and a meditation on isolation in the void.
