(I listened to this book while in bed with covid 19, so my recollection may not be totally accurate.) Damn, I love some actually alien looking aliens! This book was super interesting. 

The growing friendship between between Cora and Ampersand was fascinating to read, and the road trip portion of the first act was very funny. I enjoyed the slow reveal of what was going on with the mysterious group of government kept aliens. As well as the general culture of their species as it was revealed. 

Honestly did not expect the surprise partner bonding between Cora and Ampersand. I probably should have seen it coming, knowing the author from her YouTube content, but it was a very welcome surprise!
