I thoroughly enjoyed this scifi romp. There's aliens, a UFO crash, a smalltown mystery that seems to be warping reality, there's some truly wonderful queer and neurodiverse rep, there's a meet-weird/cute romance, very sharp and funny dialogue AND there are lots and lots of PIES. This book is funny, but also heartfelt and full of suspense and mystery. The characters have depth, and their relationships drive the plot and hooked me just as much as the alien invasion story. A terrific read from start to finish.
