Damn. Wanted to read an intriguing story about aliens… and traps… didn’t realise that would involve pink bouncing dick in the wind. DNF

I really don't know how to score this, or even how to review it. It's not at all what I thought it would be from the blurb. It's hard to read, hard to stick with; I wanted to throw it down a lot as I was reading, as Doug descended into mania and Liv became more and more depressed. The ending doesn't resolve things and there are a lot of loose ends.

But I didn't put it down. I kept reading. Make of that whatever you want.

The twist of this book had me shook. I thought I knew what was going on until the big reveal occurred. The pace throughout the book was very constant until the last hour and a half of the audiobook and then it was a rollercoaster downhill in the absolute best way. 10/10 absolutely recommend
