I’m not a big insta-love fan which is what feels like happens here. I’ve been really enjoying this series, and I still really liked this book. I just wish there had been the concept of more time spent together rather than being suspicious to falling in love within less than a two week period. I’m all for breaking the chains of reality…but this pushed it a bit far for me. It’s still a cute read and I’m so happy that Oaken got his book. I can’t wait for the next either!

Another fun one. Here’s my hypothesis about this series’ secret sauce (one ingredient is way more unhinged than the other 😆)—

Ingredient 1 (not so unhinged): clueless alien virgins who are so filled with yearning that their eyes literally glow = instant happiness. Try to be sad while reading about these dumb-dumbs being all cute and adorably down bad. It’s impossible.

Ingredient 2 (unhinged): aren’t we all dreaming about opting out of global capitalism? When our girl Jaya crash lands onto an alien penal cowboy planet with a strong sense of community, low cost of living, where no one is alienated from their labour?? Heck yeah, she wants to stay. And I want to live vicariously thought her haha

Add in likable characters, short and punchy plotlines, and lots of mistranslation-themed Dad jokes—and the book is just fun, dang it.
