I think it is fair to say that this book rubbed me the wrong way. I didn't buy into the story at all - finding an alien statue in the middle of NYC and becoming famous because you posted a video of it??

The main character, April May, is one of the least likeable characters I've ever come across. She tells us she is quirky, but that's not how she comes across. Instead of being quirky, she is full of herself and extremely selfish, always doing what SHE wants despite her friends begging her otherwise. None of the other characters are developed much, so there was no one in the story I cared for. In addition, the writing felt rushed, lots of 'quirky' dialogue that I didn't enjoy.

I'm also confused as to who the book is aimed for. It was nominated in Goodreads fiction genre, but surely, this cannot be adult literature?

I'm sorry, I just don't get this book.

*I received an e-copy of the book from Orion Publishing Group in exchange of an honest review.*
