For someone who doesn’t really read sci-fi, this was just fab (tbh it’s Matt Haig, are we surprised 😂)

This took a while to get into while how narrator got used to Earth, and I’m not overly mad about that because that could have been on purpose. It was so great to see them adjust and learn to humans, and there were some really funny moments. Like all Haig’s books, however, it also broke my heart several times and showed beauty and wonder in times of sadness. 

I feel like I want to reread this, now that I know how this story is shaped, just to really dig deeper into Haig’s hidden messages.
