I hope you will like this, 4.2 Light Years by Ken sayers.

 4.2 Light Years is a sweeping science fiction epic spanning eight years of interstellar travel — a story of courage, discovery, love, new life born among the stars, and the impossible moral weight of knowing something the rest of humanity never will.

In 2066, humanity launches its most ambitious mission: Starship Advance, bound for Proxima Centauri b — a planet orbiting the nearest star to our sun, just 4.2 light years away. On board: a crew of thirteen scientists, engineers, and explorers, alongside three thousand support personnel, all united by a single question — is there life beyond Earth?

Perfect for fans of Arthur C. Clarke, Andy Weir, and Kim Stanley Robinson.
