Dark Energy by Robison Wells

4.0

So I had this one checked out forever and kept putting it off, and then almost decided not to read it but then I thought I'd give it a try. And man, I'm glad I did!! It's really good! It's super-fast paced, and witty. I like how there's not too much internal dialogue. It's mostly between the characters, who are really fun.

And I liked how none of them betrayed each other or turned out to mean!

I liked how they became friends really fast, mainly because of the circumstances, but turned out to be really good friends. And I liked the aliens. And I really really liked Alice, even if I could never remember her name. Sometimes "witty" characters come off as trying too hard, but it felt natural with her and her dad too. I loved it. AND I liked the integration of First Peoples culture. I thought it put a really unique spin on everything. SO overall, yeah, really good! Lara! Becca! Read!
