def not the most well-written book i’ve ever read but it was just so lovely and heartwarming that i loved it anyway. the writing style is really simple and more statementy, so the book can feel like the characters aren’t super developed at times. overall a super sweet book about life, it’s a great summer read :)

this book was very cute! def more heavy on the physics type science stuff than what i’m used to, so i did kind of skim those parts, but if you like detailed physics experiments you’ll like this book! if you like aliens and funny characters you’ll also like this book! rocky was amaze i’m a fan. I’ll be making annie annotate all my books for my future enjoyment.

this was a lovely little book! it was surprisingly emotional and i didn’t get as invested as i did with book lovers but i still had a great time. i liked that the characters lives and feelings were more emphasized (i didn’t cry but i wanted to which i think says a lot). go forth and read it and weep children

wow this book kind of wrecked me. I loved every second of it and i’m honestly mad that it’s not based on reality. it’s just beautiful and tragic and funny and i really hope everyone gets a chance to read it.

this wasn’t as good as the first book, i feel like it could have been way shorter and tbf i skimmed lots of parts bc they were unnecessary. i liked the characters tho and was highly entertained so 3.5/5 stars
