Across the Universe by Beth Revis is a science fiction novel set aboard a massive spaceship, the Godspeed, which is traveling to a distant planet to colonize it. The story begins with Amy, a 17-year-old girl, who is cryogenically frozen along with her parents for the 300-year journey to the new world. However, she is unexpectedly awakened 50 years too early, alone in a mysterious and oppressive environment. Amy quickly realizes that something is terribly wrong with the Godspeed—its inhabitants are controlled by a tyrannical leader, and the ship’s systems are deteriorating. She is faced with the challenge of navigating this strange and dangerous new world while struggling to survive and find a way to trust the people around her.

The novel alternates between Amy’s perspective and the point of view of Elder, a young man who is being groomed to become the leader of the Godspeed. As he begins to question the leadership of the ship, Elder’s and Amy’s fates become intertwined. They uncover dark secrets about the ship’s history, the true purpose of the journey, and the chilling reality of the people in power. As the story unfolds, themes of trust, identity, and control emerge, as Amy and Elder work together to unravel the mysteries surrounding them, all while dealing with their own emotional struggles and the rising tension on the ship. The novel is a compelling mix of romance, suspense, and exploration of futuristic dystopian society.
