Intergalactic Exterminators, Inc by Ash Bishop

Three strikes and I'm done.
1. She had huge breasts but he didn't even notice them. He loved women who smiled even when they weren't smiling
2. "Im sorry, I shouldn't have corrected you." She's a scientist and explained gently why he was wrong.
3. She explained her boss was sexually harassing her and his response was "well, wanna help me with my problem? I found a weird rock."

Nope. Nina had potential what with being a scientist and the smartest person in town, but this man is a hard pass from me. I hope the aliens who abduct him feed him to that giant cat he killed's sister.

Ah yes, a heartwarming, funny, uplifting rom-com..... except its 90% trauma, 5% dating and a 3rd act breakup, wrapped up with a neat little bow.
This book is INCREDIBLY sad. So many annotations on my Kindle version, and nearly all of them blue!
