yeah no. The idea for the book was really cool, however, the text-speak format didn't work with me. It took so much time to read a chapter that I would forget what happened and what was going on. Further, the text-speak to me made a more disconnect with the characters as I wanted to get to know them but couldn't. A third of the book is them just getting to Earth, the next third is quite confusing as it deals with their body and gravity and them trying to adjust to their new life, but I found it all to quite be boring and uneventful. The last third of the book was, I don't even know to be honest. The characters lacked depth, emotion, and personality. I found the characters to just lack everything that can make them human and I didn't really care what happened to them at all; I just felt nothing. For the plot, it lagged and was slow making it super uneventful. Overall, I didn't care for this book and ended up skimming through it because to me I just didn't like it.
