Eight Days on Planet Earth by Cat Jordan

3.0

Eight Days on Planet Earth by Cat Jordan, and I have some mixed feelings about it. The premise is super intriguing—a young girl named Skye gets an unexpected chance to spend a week with this mysterious boy named Kellan, and it all takes place in a beautiful coastal town. Sounds like a dream, right? 

The book has a nice mix of coming-of-age vibes and romance, and I really appreciated the themes of self-discovery and the importance of relationships. Skye is a relatable character; she’s dealing with her own struggles and trying to figure out where she fits in. Kellan is charming and has his own secrets, which adds a bit of tension to their budding romance.

However, I found that the pacing felt a bit off at times. Some parts dragged on longer than necessary, and I wished for a little more depth in the characters and their backstories. There were moments that really had potential to shine, but they felt a bit rushed or not fully explored. 

Overall, Eight Days on Planet Earth has its sweet moments and a nice setting, but it didn’t quite leave me wowed. It’s a cute story that might appeal to younger readers or anyone looking for a light, summer read. If you’re into stories about love and self-discovery, it’s worth checking out, but just don’t expect it to blow your socks off!
