There’s a reason objects burn up when they fall to earth like gruesome angels — a reason other than the obvious one. Asteroids the size of armored cars narrow to mere pebbles in a matter of seconds. It’s because the planet is a carnivore and just wants to be fed. People want that as well. People like to eat other people.
I spent so many years forgetting I had teeth, too.

Interesting idea, but lots of content just for shock value. Happens so quickly that it's hard to believe the relationship that the characters formed. The writing style also feels off sometimes - it's supposed to be "actual" emails written between the characters but often reads in style, voice, and format like a regular novel. Very strange and didn't make sense in the context of what the story was supposed to be portraying.
