I. Absolutely. Loved. This. Book. It is so fun and so funny. A great twist on alien romance and the start of what will be a wonderful series. Kimberly is killing it with alien and monster romance. 

Plus this book is SO HOT

I was so excited for this book and am so disappointed. 

Awesome things
- Panama - I want to go badly! 
- the discussions of gentrification and tourism were so thoughtful 
- the discussions of boundaries and work life balance 

Not my fave
- the pacing was so weird. And it was essentially insta lust. I wish we’d gotten some of the 4 months of Adrian driving Gen
- the sex scenes were not emotional or engaging really
- the plot of Gen and her mom

I had a lot of fun with this book!!!! Like it was surprising and funny and tense. The background of a PTA nightmare was really fun and realistic but also frustrating as a Black woman in nonprofits because it’s stuff we experience all the time. I loved the growing relationship with Jack and Mavis but honestly this isn’t a romance. It’s a rom com thriller and so fun. Even though it’s predictable I still enjoyed the reveal. 

Mavis was wonderful as a character and I want to read more from her!
