I was not expecting to like this book as much as I did. I expected a quick, trashy, indulgent read. It was that but I also found that I truly enjoyed the story. I felt tense about the characters’ survival, I thought they were lovable characters, I laughed at some genuinely funny moments, and so on. The communication barrier and the short term threat to the survival of the humans on the planet added to the intensity of the love story. The only reason I didn’t give a full 5 stars is because there were some cringe moments too.
mainly the instant pregnancy and the way she was like “oh no, I’m late, I’m definitely pregnant.”
