When Jewel became the victim of a horrific attack in high school, her whole life changed for the worse. Ridiculed and outcast, she is convinced that there is noone left on this planet who can love her and accept her for who she now is. Scarred and withdrawn, she turns to Madam Eve's One Night Stand dating service and enters a totally blind date agreement. Not knowing where she is bound for, she heads off to meet her 1NS date, but is sent into space instead.Flavia, or V as everyone knows her, works on a space station in a visitor relations position with no hope of returning to earth. Given the task of taking care of Jewel whilst on the station she is determined to crack open the hard shell Jewel has enclosed herself in. She see's the beauty beneath Jewels scars, but also has to deal with the fact that Jewel is there for a date, but you can't blame a girl for trying huh?I loved this novel from start to finish. It dealt with a tough issue that most women have on accepting their own flaws, and seeing the inner beauty in themselves. The acceptance of Flavia toward Jewel also sent the clear message that there is a special someone for us all, which kept the feelgood vibes flowing throughout the story as Flavia deals with her own self doubts, while trying to push Jewel past her insecurities.Jessica Subject has outdone herself with the setting of the novel. The details  were enough to fire the imagination without dragging on endlessley, leaving you to fully enjoy the varied characters throughout the book.She has managed to not only capture the hearts of her readers with this very tender and loving story, but also injected a dash of delicious humour which is a sure to please.This story is tied in to provide an update on past characters as well which is fantastic for those of us who have been eagerly keeping up to date on Jessica's own 1NS series installments, and the ending to her book leaves you craving to read more.Well done Jessica, I eagerly await your next installment :)
