i loved at the edge of the universe and wanted to read more of hutchinson’s work. i’m glad i did.

we are the ants follows henry, dubbed ‘space boy’ by his peers because of his frequent run-ins with aliens who have informed him that the world will end on january 29th - unless he presses the big red button in their ship. and he has a lot of reasons not to.

this story is sad in parts, heartwarming in others, captivating all the way through and makes you question your mortality and existence. i absolutely loved it. hutchinson’s quickly becoming one of my favorite authors.

Didn’t like the moral or point of the story but it was pretty relatable and a good comfort read in a melancholy way
