In Across the Universe, did you enjoy ...

... a suspenseful, goal-driven journey through space?

These Broken Stars by Amie Kaufman & Meagan Spooner

If you were hooked by Amy and Elder’s desperate quest for survival and answers aboard the Godspeed, you’ll love These Broken Stars, where Lilac and Tarver must navigate a crashed spaceship, unravel secrets, and fight for their lives. Like Across the Universe, it’s a tense, mission-driven narrative full of danger and intrigue.

... multiple points of view in a high-stakes sci-fi thriller?

Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff

If you enjoyed experiencing the story from both Amy and Elder’s perspectives—and seeing how their actions and secrets collide—Illuminae delivers a multi-layered mosaic of voices, including Kady, Ezra, AI logs, and more, as a disaster unfolds on a generation ship. The shifting viewpoints keep the tension high and the stakes personal.

... strong character growth in the face of dark revelations?

The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness

If you were invested in Amy and Elder’s transformation as they grappled with truth, loyalty, and leadership, you’ll be swept up in Todd’s journey in The Knife of Never Letting Go. Todd’s worldview is shattered as he uncovers layers of lies in his society—mirroring the personal evolution and tough choices of Across the Universe.

... romantic subplots entwined with sci-fi mystery?

Cinder by Marissa Meyer

If the slow-burning, tension-filled romance between Amy and Elder added depth to the mystery and danger aboard the Godspeed, you’ll be drawn to the spark between Cinder and Prince Kai in Cinder. The chemistry grows amid secrets, rebellion, and high-tech intrigue, blending heartfelt romance with a thrilling plot.

... dystopian elements and rebellion within an oppressive society?

Red Rising by Pierce Brown

If the claustrophobic, controlled world of the Godspeed and the fight against an unjust system gripped you, Red Rising takes dystopian tension to the next level. Follow Darrow as he infiltrates the ruling class in a brutal, divided society on Mars—full of secrets, rebellion, and the struggle for freedom.
