We Light Up the Sky by Lilliam Rivera

3.0

I rarely read books about alien invasion although I’ve seen my fair share of movies. As I read We Light Up the Sky, I definitely feel as if I need more alien invasion stories in my life! I’m soooo close to the end. I’ve been reading every single opportunity I get. This book feels as though it would be a great addition to the Netflix collection of teen horror/thrillers. Pedro, Luna, and Raffa are trying to survive their of already complicated lives in L.A. nearly post ‘Rona and then…BOOM…the Visitor’s land on Earth. Disrupting their entire world even more. Ohhhh, it’s definitely an interesting story that is sustaining my attention, but I found the alien invasion itself to be a bit lackluster. I just want to give all of the central characters a hug. And I want Pedro’s sequin joggers. I appreciate what the author attempted to do. This would make a fascinating Netflix movie with more details flushed out.
