Gosh what to say about this book. It starts out  as a sweet lighthearted sci-fi about well a lonely girl. But then it happens and the author takes you in a complete 180. I did the Audio version and was actually excited to get in my car at the twist so I could finish. Before the twist I was getting a little frustrated with the main character but I think we were supposed to be.

Thought this would be a light book but it has a surprising, dark twist. Author does a good job portraying gaslighting, emotional abuse and other subjects that I found disturbing. A pretty good read!
