Why this must be read: An absolutely lovely story about Rose post-Doomsday, and the new universe she's living in. With a great structure around ecosystems - or habitats - we get a Rose who is studying for an A-level, has made friends with the alt!Sarah Jane, investigates alien toasters-that-might-be-weapons with Mickey and Jake, and generally is living her life, the way the Doctor would want her to. There's some very funny bits, some very thoughtful and touching bits, some melancholy (because this Rose is real, with all the human emotions that go with that), and a strong, hopeful ending. I just love Rose in this, and it's the Rose I was longing to see, post-Doomsday.
