I loved this book! It has a forever-line from my library so I read it in chunks on multiple skip-the-line copies and I was always so excited to get it again.
I’ve heard the audio is amazing and for a reread I will want to go that way because I can tell how it would be. 
I don’t understand science or space enough to know if this is “accurate“ (as much as one can be with a fictional book about things we have never encountered) but it was believable enough for me and I was here for it. I laughed, i cried. I will be telling friends to read it.

I loved this book. In talking to my book club friends who read the physical book I would HIGHLY recommend the audiobook. SPOILER? The alien language is musical and that translates way better in audio format. I loved the ending, if you are into sci-fi would highly recommend.

A ton of fun. Overall maybe closer to a 4/5 but I liked the corny ending so much I just had to give it that last star. Buddy comedy + Sci-Fi never fails to disappoint.
