Mischa Love, or Ish for short, Isn't like other girls. Instead of wanting to be a singer or fashion designer, she wants to be the first girl on Mars! She signs up for applications on Mars Now and has read The Martian multiple times. But when disaster strikes, will she still make it to the Red Planet someday? ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Sad, Yet Hopeful and Thoughtful Novel *by M***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 14, 2017* To Mischa "Ish" Love, Mars is more than some nearby planet that humans will someday make their way to, it's her future. She's spent her life learning about, planning for, and getting ready for Mars. She's sent in 47 applications to the Mars Now project, but whenever they respond, it's a "no." Even when her best friend and partner in her Mars passion moves to Portland, Ish continues to see the Red Planet as her fate. Then it's the first day of seventh grade, and she collapses. Her life flips as she is diagnosed with a brain tumor or as she calls it, a Nirgal. Frequent dreams about Mars keep Ish wondering what is truly reality as she fights to keep her future in view. She begins to see life in a different way, never knowing what's next and what she should have done.As a reader, you also don't know what's going to happen next. Ish is collapsing, she's in the hospital, she's out of it, she's dreaming. And yet it isn't only a book to read for the plot, it's also a book to read for the deep concepts it holds. It really gets into Ish's head, showing every thought. The strange things, the mind-bending/interesting ideas, the humor, and even the incredibly sad things. It's filled with her thoughts about love, fear, life and death. It makes you re-think what's believable, possible, or real. Despite all that, it isn't an incredibly hard read, it just gets your mind thinking. The paperback book is 284 pages long, including an author Q&A. I suggest the book primarily to readers eleven or older. Younger kids could read it, but many parts are very sad and there are a lot of concepts and metaphors that are important to understand, so it depends on the person. Even now I question what some of the parts really meant. It can make you sad or scared and sometimes it may touch your emotions and thoughts in ways that not everyone might like. For this reason and because the book is largely about Ish fighting cancer, I would think about whether you like this type of book before reading it. I give Love, Ish 5 stars because it made me think twice about what I read and ventures into really interesting topics that many novels don't bring up, sometimes really sad ones. I see Mars in a new way after reading Love, Ish. I learned a lot about the Red Planet from reading it. If you're up for a sad, yet hopeful and thoughtful novel, then I suggest Love, Ish.Camille J, age 12, Los Angeles Mensa ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars intelligent girl, marching to her own drummer *by S***H on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 1, 2018* This book is very well written, and yet I had some conflicting perspective. Ish is a strong, intelligent girl, marching to her own drummer, which in her case, was an almost obsessive beacon call to be a settler on Mars.. I love books about strong girls who don't feel the need to conform, but they need to be happy with who they are, and I thought Ish was desperately unhappy, beyond the normal angst of a twelve year old girl. I felt her burning desire to live on Mars as hiding the fact that she felt she had nothing at all here on Earth, no real family relationships, no friends except the absent Tig, etc. I wondered why, when she went on at length about how humans had destroyed Earth, and moving to other planets necessary for human survival, she didn't consider that Mars would eventually have the same fate. It was such a shame that she didn't feel love and feel loved until she got to Mars. Ish's sister Elliott wasn't really well written. It was unclear whether she had some real emotional disorder or just being a difficult 14 year old, with the added traumatic disruption of finding out about the adoption. Much of Elliott's anger seemed to be directed at Ish, even after the diagnosis, and the parents did nothing about it. Also thought it was a little odd that Ish's oldest sister Iris, who was supposed to be so nice and kind and loving, after learning Ish's diagnosis, didn't come home to see her for weeks, and almost too late.I am just glad dear Ish is enjoying her life on her beautiful Mars, with her friends and her parrot! Loved how she saw him "fly by her window, glowing like the moon." --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/40532535-love-ish-hardcover-march-14-2017](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/40532535-love-ish-hardcover-march-14-2017) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
