Read this for a bookclub and would not have finished it if I’d have just picked this up on my own. It was fine, and I think my expectations were a bit too high for an indie press. Could have benefited from an editor, as the story itself is cute and fun but a bit disjointed. Enjoyed the harder sci-fi elements, appreciate some queer and autistic representations, but the characters all felt a little, underdeveloped? Ultimately - this is okay and just fell a bit flat for me, probably better for someone looking for kind of brain off book with some semi-spicy queer cozy (yet at times a bit intense?) alien invasion sci-fi.
