These Broken Stars (Starbound #1) by Amie Kaufman and, Meagan Spooner

Synopsis:
It's a night like any other on board the Icarus. Then, catastrophe strikes: the massive luxury spaceliner is yanked out of hyperspace and plummets into the nearest planet. Lilac LaRoux and Tarver Merendsen survive. And they seem to be alone. 

Lilac is the daughter of the richest man in the universe. Tarver comes from nothing, a young war hero who learned long ago that girls like Lilac are more trouble than they’re worth. But with only each other to rely on, Lilac and Tarver must work together, making a tortuous journey across the eerie, deserted terrain to seek help. 

Then, against all odds, Lilac and Tarver find a strange blessing in the tragedy that has thrown them into each other’s arms. Without the hope of a future together in their own world, they begin to wonder—would they be better off staying here forever?

Everything changes when they uncover the truth behind the chilling whispers that haunt their every step. Lilac and Tarver may find a way off this planet. But they won’t be the same people who landed on it.

My Rating 
-4/5-
Love this book, it was a really good science fiction romance. It was simple yet not boring. I loved how Lilac and Tarver were the only ones and you got to see them fall in love. How they are fighting for their lives, but also how its not overly dramatic. They aren't being chased down constantly or about to die every single minute like most books. 
I really enjoyed watching both Tarver and Lilac fall in love. Seeing how they were both stubborn and how they almost always thought the same thing. Well I mean in how to act towards each other. Other wise they weren't really on the same page. 
It was interesting, to discover what they discovered also a little creepy. It made a good story though.
I like how this book was writen. In between each chapter there was a few lines, and they were from an interview. It doesn't really make sense but once you get farther in the book the interview parts make more sense and it's really cool.
Also it went back and forth between Lilac and Tarver's point of view and I thought that was cool to.
It looks like this book will be the first in a trilogy so I'm excited to see what problems they will have to face now.
