adventurous funny

okay.....so..... I LIKED IT SUE ME. was it jaw dropping literature? of course not. BUT I had so much fucking fun. They were lowkey cute? It feels sinful to say.... Aliens are hot! I will admit the first part threw me for a loop like the whole

rape by the basketball head aliens really hurt my head and was so disturbing. and the fact that consent doesn't seem to be a thing with the ice planet aliens... their meet cute would be on alien SVU

Vektal and Georgie were an interesting experience, I had fun I’ll admit it!! The intentional jokes didn’t work for me but the overall plot and everything was a comedy routine in itself. I really thought I’d hate it….. I’ve added the series to my ever extending tbr. I can’t believe a book exists with the phrase “alien nookie”. The more ya know?  

Update:
After finishing this at like 1am, I had some really weird dreams. It feels related lmfao.

Entertaining and short. The world building was definitely there, but the length of the book was short because it touched but didn't delve into some topics that would make the book a lot darker - like Georgie's worry about the family and friends she left behind, or thoughts of returning home. 

CW/TW: the rape scene is in the beginning, was easy to skip over, and then was only mentioned a few times. This topic was not written about in depth after it occurred on page.

This book needs to be longer, but this series is 21 books deep so I'll let that go. 
Also, this book contains topics that I'm not comfortable reading so that's why it's marked lower.
But Georgie is great and Vektal is a cinnamon roll.  Will be continuing the series!
