5.0

read this because i wanted to know what the absolute fuck was going on. i’d seen the memes, and curiosity got me.
but holy shit. i had such a fun time.

anyone reviewing this like it’s meant to be incredibly serious mind-blowing sci-fi literature is missing the point.
this is just a silly goofy time.

bonus points for endless star wars references. it’s what george would want.

I have some mixed feelings about this bad boy. I had been looking forward to finally reading and while I wouldn't say I'm disappointed, I also wouldn't say I'm particularly excited about it either. Vektal was sweet and out here doing his best to make sense of it all. 

It's all a bit cheesy but just try not to take it too seriously. Have some fun. I just wouldn't say it was necessarily my cup of tea.

gisellefonseca's review

fast-paced

3.0

review is based on the digital version + the honeymoon short story bc i was not about to buy the actual book

not only was this just the author projecting her monsterfucker fantasy onto these characters, but it contained a very stereotypical kidnapping by green aliens, quite a bit of sexual assault and borderline cnc, falling for each other in less than three days, unintentionally baby trapping(?), a really cheap cop out of a language barrier, entirely too many star wars references, a variety of phrases i did not want to read, and mediocre smut. also his skin feels like suede ?? i have not been able to move past that. 

also, the epilogue felt weirdly out of character. miss maam barely cared about the girls when they initially died and suddenly she has survivors guilt ?? would’ve been a better plot point had it been in the actual book. 

unfortunately, i will be reading the rest of them.
