I have mixed feelings about this book. In the beginning, I really strongly disliked every single character. I especially disliked the main character. I had some theories about the plot that turned out to be true, but it was certainly a wild ride. I'm not sure if I could recommend it. This book was super graphic, full of toxic behaviors. Very unlikeable characters, though there was some character development.

midwichtriffid's review against another edition
An interesting invasion story that I might come back to, but as a new mom I can't keep reading when they casually drop scenes full of dead babies. It's legit given me anxiety a couple of times and the one scene in the trailer made me want to cry, and vomit and almost gave me a panic attack.
