Wonderful book about life that makes you sit back and think about all the good things and bad humans have done to each other and the planet.

I really liked The Midnight Library, so I wanted to read more from the author. At first, I really liked it, then it got a little odd, then it was kinda bland, then it wrapped up with a little heartwarming. I've never been a fan of alien (scary, silly, or replacing humans) stuff anyway! It's a nice book overall, not my favorite, not bad, I wouldn't own a physical copy and I wouldn't want to see this made into a film/series. I'll definitely read Matt Haig's other books.

For someone who doesn’t really read sci-fi, this was just fab (tbh it’s Matt Haig, are we surprised 😂)

This took a while to get into while how narrator got used to Earth, and I’m not overly mad about that because that could have been on purpose. It was so great to see them adjust and learn to humans, and there were some really funny moments. Like all Haig’s books, however, it also broke my heart several times and showed beauty and wonder in times of sadness. 

I feel like I want to reread this, now that I know how this story is shaped, just to really dig deeper into Haig’s hidden messages.
