Whilst this may be the second of Andy Weir's novels (after The Martian but before Project Hail Mary), it's actually the third I read.

Thankfully, all three are stand-alone.

This one is set in the relatively near future and on the moon, where Artemis is the first - and, currently, only - city there, and where life can be rough.

Which is why the protagonist Jasmine "Jazz" Bashara turns to smuggling alongside her 'proper' job as a porter. And, inevitably, finds herself involved in a conspiracy for control of the city when things go sideways.

Personally, I found this to be a bit weaker than either The Martian or Project Hail Mary but, well, tastes may differ!
