Overall the book was meh. I enjoyed the more survival focused bits of the book and the communication barrier between the humans and the aliens.

The sex scenes were...not my cup of tea. They were very...you know when you are making fun of bad heterosexual erotica and how to guy has a 20ft dick and the woman orgasms in 2 seconds? That's what it seemed to be.

Also, I'm assuming this is a fault of the platform I listened to the audiobook (spotify) and not the actual book, but content warnings were not read. Which meant that in the first chunk of the book, I was suddenly thrust into a r*pe scene of a background character by, for lack of a better term, prison guard. I was not prepared AT ALL for that and although it didn't go into much detail--it was still a jarring scene to listen to when doing my dishes!

MASSIVE TRIGGER WARNING: Within the first three chapters, a side character is brutally r**ped while imprisoned, and the main character is s*xually assaulted by her future love interest while she is unconscious. Not a single video review I had seen even remotely mentioned this. I was not prepared and it really messed me up. I simply could not finish.

This book starts out dark with a rather triggering first chapter so please read the warnings!
Quickly turns into a funny, smutty, alien romance page turner after the first couple chapters.
