I’d be wrong to say I did not enjoy this book— I did! It was easy going, peppered with just enough touch of surreality as I enjoy. The overall plot was a tad weak, there weren’t really any stakes at all, but that aided in the book’s fast-paced reading. I wasn’t so much a fan of the characters, bar Trina, and all the character’s dialogue felt very jilted — which given the context of the whole alien stuff, I understand, but outside of that it just doesn’t read well to me.
Pick up for a fun, trippy blitz through a post-apocalyptic alien hive mind! I feel like lots of people would enjoy this book as a sort of hidden gem of the eco-alien, surreal horror-ish genre. I just wish I was one of those!
Moderate: Addiction and Sexual content
Minor: Transphobia
