 This was a surprisingly fun read for me. I did struggle a bit to get into it at first, but once I was in, I really liked it. I thought the plot was cute and I liked the interactions between the characters. The only thing that really stuck out to me as a negative was how Gabe's mental health was handled. I feel like a book being written in 2019 should have a better attitude than "um have you tried being less depressed??" because that just ain't it. I'm also just kind of over the "mental illness is scary" trope.

Despite that, I still really enjoyed this book and had a lot of fun with it. I'm looking forward to reading more from Vanderah in the future.

The beginning had a decent premise that hooked me in in the first place. Then there was a HUGE genre change from speculative fiction/magical realism to murder mystery suspense. It made it difficult to finish at the end because it really wasnt the direction i wanted the story to go but in sure someone may like it

I'm not a sci-fi reader but this alien book has me intrigued. The characters in this books were so well created and deep without feeling like I was reading character descriptions for 200 pages. A predictable read but in the way that you were pretty sure how it was going to end but knew it wasn't going to be easy to get there and wanted to go on the adventure with Gabe, Jo, and Ursa. 

I don't have triggers when I read normally but check the trigger warnings because there is some sensitive material.

A beautiful story and very well-written. My only complaint would be Jo’s characterization can be a lot, she’s a lot. Definitely read all the trigger warnings before getting into it. 

Also, I read this book via the audiobook and the voice acting is fantastic.

THIS BOOK IS ON KINDLE UNLIMITED READ IT NOW - happened to be scrolling through Kindle Unlimited read the description of this book and thought "ehh why not give it a shot?". I LOVE LOVE LOVED this book, it is realistic fiction but surprisingly unique. The characters are so beautifully flawed and I just loved it. As a book on Kindle Unlimited it went above and beyond my expectations. BE WARNED you will not be able to put this book down!!
