I loved the balance of humour and quirkiness, and quiet, sometimes emotional, reflection in this fun book.
If you enjoy reading stories about what it means to be human, what it means to love, and how we might approach living life to the fullest, then this is a book for you!
I'm not one to collect quotes, but there were a few brilliant passages about the human condition that I reread so I could savour and reflect upon them.
I chuckled to myself a handful of times as well as Matt Haig cleverly uses the concept of aliens to help highlight all the ways in which we humans are weird and wonderful, but also how we might think about doing better each day.
