Enjoying the characters so far but I’m ready for this to get creepy please

DNF. Love Mira Grant - and forever trying to find novels as good as her Into The Drowning Deep or Parasitoligy series -- but this one didn't grab me.

With the alien-on-Earth storyline, I was hoping for a bit of Matt Haig's The Humans....but this one didn't meet that mark.

I’m not gonna hold yall this book is so boring and repetitive

i’d vibe a lot more with the constant sirens blaring subtlety-of-a-sledgehammer comparing of being transgender to being a not-so-undercover alien if it was written by a trans author or at the very least least coming out of the mouth of a trans character. as it is, cis girl stasia keeps looking at her trans boyfriend and thinking wow it’s a good thing he’s trans bc it means he Gets It and uh. not really?

the way that graham, the trans man love interest, is being written is starting to feel really condescending. a transgender character written for an audience that has never encountered a transgender person before, real or fictional, ever in their entire lives.
