This is honestly one of the best books I've read in awhile. I read most of it over a couple of plane rides, and I could barely put it down. It has just the right mix of humor, sci-fi, romance, and contemporary fiction, and has something for just about everyone. The characters are (mostly) likable, but also feel very real (even the alien narrator!). And there's a dog who you'll instantly fall in love with. 

Overall, 4.75 for the slightly rushed ending, but phenomenal otherwise. A decent length read that makes you think about life and love, and what it means to be human.
