I really, really, really, really wanted to like this book more than I did. Don't get me wrong, I did like it. I just wanted to LOVE it. And I did not, on the whole. I loved aspects of it: that asexual panromantic rep, those literary references, that plot twist at the end. And the concept is high key intriguing, and I felt like Alechia Dow's writing was CLOSE to doing it for me. But overall it just won't stick in my mind. Morris felt a tad too juvenile for me. I really liked Ellie as a character, and her arc is pretty strong, but I just wanted more from this one. Womp wompppp.

This is a wonderful science fiction book with Demisexual and Panromantic rep that I loved!

Post-alien-invasion, one girl teams up with an unlikely alien ally to try and save the world from complete colonization.

I really enjoyed the plot of this book and the romance was sweet. There were parts that felt like they dragged a little to me, so I feel like the pacing might have been a bit off.  Overall I enjoyed it a lot!
