Micaiah Johnson recommends

Love Galaxy (2026)
(Imperial Broadcasts, book 1)
Sierra Branham
"Like the reality shows it invokes, Sierra Branham's Love Galaxy is so much more than meets the eye. It satisfyingly replicates all the messy magic of the best/worst reality shows, but feeds it through the eyes of Temmi - a consummate outsider whose attitude toward media made in the heart of empire gives readers space to question their own enjoyment."

The Stars Too Fondly (2024)
Emily Hamilton
"Emily Hamilton's The Stars Too Fondly begins as a quippy heist with an endearing cast, then evolves into a space comedy that has as many thoughtful explorations of the inner-workings of dark matter as the - equally complicated - relationships that make up a found family. This highly self-aware novel prioritizes care and connection, without sacrificing any of the fun of space (mis)adventure. Because sometimes saving the world starts with saving each other. I cannot wait to see readers who love Tamsyn Muir's Gideon and Harrow go absolutely feral for Cleo and Billie."
