Oh boy. So I wanted to like this, and I want to like this authors books, but they always have a half baked “that’s it?” quality that keeps popping up. By the end I’m always yadda yadda yadda-ing because I’m waiting for the actual plot to happen. I can only read so much of the same “will I do this or this?” without any tension! And sure, maybe it’s meant to be cozy, but that doesn’t mean it can’t have stuff happening. 

Also, a personal thing, but I despise reading texting or group chats in a book. Like, viscerally. I am fully aware that maybe this book isn’t what I’m looking for, but I did enjoy parts of it. That being said, I wish there were more parts I liked! 

Also, 377 pages and not a single alien cock was spotted 😭
