Well I didn't know what to expect going in and honestly still don't know what I think. I enjoyed the relationship between Georgie and Vektal and them learning about each other and learning to communicate. Some spicy scenes which were interesting and Vektal was strangely sweet and respectful. Georgie was brave but so very human with her thought processes. Interesting planet and plot, lots of hardship for 188 pages but so nice moments as well. 

Also, was not expecting a rape scene like 10 pages in so be prepared for that.

Honestly I felt like it was a bit over hyped?
I definitely could have done without the rape when initially kidnapped.
it was.... Fine.

I did not expect to love this as much as I did as sci-fi and aliens aren’t my reading usuals, but this was so much fun, sweet, hysterical at times, and just swoon worthy. Is it the absolute best story I’ve ever read? No. But it made me happy and smile.

No era para mi este libro y por eso mi baja puntuación...
Es corto y lo acabé antes de darme cuenta, pero a la vez fue un DNF porque no leí las historias extras. De hecho iba a abandonar el libro al acabar el capítulo. Es como si hubiera ido a cortar con alguien y esa persona cortase antes conmigo.

He de decir que me reí bastante y que en general me parece una narración cargada de humor, pero a lo mejor solo lo estoy viendo yo...Pero es que había ciertas cosas que tenían que ser escritas para hacer gracia, a mi no me engañan:

"No era un monstruo que iba a comerme. Era este monstruo.
Que me lo ha comido."

Soy una persona diferente tras haber leído esas líneas. Me he quedado marcada de por vida y posiblemente haya muerto de risa y esté en el infierno (porque me lo merezco, no por otra cosa).

You know I really wanted to give it a fair shot but I couldn’t really get through the on page r@pe scene 20 minutes into the audiobook. I’m sure this is a book that can definitely work for some people! Especially if that’s something they can stomach or are able to skim over to get further into the book. It’s just not for me.
