When Jen forms a group chat with people she met in the Aliens Among Us forums, she doesn't expect to form a crush on Seeker, and she certainly doesn't expect that he might be an actual alien. Despite being stuck on Earth for the past year, Tam (known as Seeker online) has a lot to learn about humans while he continues to try to find a way home. The whole group agrees to meet in person at Space Con, and neither Jen nor Tam could imagine all they'll learn.

I thought this was a very fun idea, with an actual alien pretending to be a cosplayer. I really liked all the side characters and hope I can read more about them in future books. I did feel like there were some bigger questions about the state of aliens living on Earth at the end of the book, but I think that just leaves space for sequels to explore. Overall, it was a cute, fun read.

Thanks to Netgalley and Sourcebooks Casablanca for an early copy.
