This is a beautiful book about grief, love, and an egg-shaped alien. It follows a man who has lost everything, and we follow his depressing journey with a lost egg-shaped alien... and how they saved each other. Still consider this book even if aliens aren't your thing. This isn't fantasy; he's a cute alien anyways. It is beautifully written and made me laugh, tear up, and smile. As well, the cover is gorgeous. Great debut novel!
