I Got Abducted by Aliens and Now I'm Trapped in a Rom-Com by Kimberly Lemming

lighthearted

• Diverse cast of characters? Yes

I’m not rating this as it turns out spicy alien threesomes aren’t my genre. If you like spicy alien appendages, this might be the book for you!

I really enjoyed this sweet romance - more real-world problems, and the characters freely like real people. I loved Linda Holmes’ narration, and I’m sad it’s over.

It’s a farce and a mystery, gently poking fun at some of the tropes of Austen’s books. A little too silly for me, but a good read nonetheless.

Snippets of life told humorously and truthfully with great cartoons throughout. If you’ve been single in your 30’s, adored a cat, been on terrible dates, or tried to cheat at yoga with copious amounts of savasana, you’ll like this book.
