Why is bronze hair so often the bees knees?
So that oft used description for a YA Love Interest's hair is blargh, BUT I was pretty happy to see the fab friendship between MC and her bi friend, and that there was a minimum of girl on girl/that "type" of girl hate going on. Most of the dialogue and inner narration, however, left a lot to be desired. It felt like it was trying too hard to sound "teen," but what the H-E-double hockey sticks do I know, ja feel?
And oh dear, it's just loaded with tropey stuff that I'm just not into. The MC truly believes she's Dowdy McDowderson, but the entire rest of the narrative is chanting "No grrl, you're so hot!" and that's tiresome. And the uber-awesome breath-stealing aliens of course are hotter than the white hot intensity of 1000 suns, so. Snore. I liked that MC snapped back when LI was rude AF. I DID NOT like when the LI kissed the MC out of nowhere as they were hiding from police. What utter BS. I've read a short story by Armentrout and was equally disappointed with the terrible banter and creep factor of the LI. She's just not an author for me, it seems. And now I'm going to go watch Roswell. #nostalgia
Peace out, home skillets. Thanks for the First Look (and all the fish)!
