I really wanted to like this, but I was surprised that the narrative voice is so annoying. At times, it definitely felt as if a middle-aged man were writing from a young woman’s perspective and I definitely cringed in those moments.

That being said, the story is pretty interesting. I like how it explores the involvement of social media in a “first contact” situation. Aliens are always very fun to read about, and I loved the weird and random elements like grape jelly (gruesome, but a little funny).

I’ll be reading the next one, but I will likely continue to gripe about the writing. Sorry, Hank.

A sick, twisted exploration of motherhood and I loved it! Makes you think twice about eating chicken though…
