This book is really sweet. Its close observation of humanity is both specific and universal, and I enjoyed the celebration of everyday pleasures alongside profound pain. The science fiction framing wasn’t particularly compelling to me, but it didn’t negatively impact my experience in a significant way.

I am pretty sure I will think about this book and Adina the alien for the rest of my life.
