I had no idea what to expect when I went into this book, and I was very pleasantly surprised. I really enjoyed this book. It was a really interesting alien contact story that spoke a lot about human connections, trust, and the general behavior of the human species as a whole. I really enjoyed Cora, the main character a lot and felt she was very relatable despite the fantastical situation she finds herself in.

I feel like it is worth noting that I knew very little about the author before starting this book. I do not watch her youtube videos and it was my wife's mentioning that she had a published book that got me curious because I enjoy science fiction. Her status as a public figure had no influence on my enjoyment of the book.

I adored this book and thought the storytelling format it used was very interesting. I really enjoyed Addie as a character. We really get to know her through the book, which made her emotional journey and character development really engaging.

This book is one of the most character-driven stories I've ever read and it was handled just perfectly. I will admit that I didn't enjoy the parts of the story that didn't focus on Addie as much, but I did see why they were also important.
