Thank you Netgalley and Sourcebooks UK for my ARC copy.
I really enjoyed this book, I'm a big fan of Alien/monster romances and this did not disappoint. It was such a quick read and the characters had me hooked from the start. I will 100% be recommending this to friends.

The first thing to mention is that due to a technical glitch at my end, I couldn’t load this arc onto my Kindle, therefore I spent one of my Audible credits on the audiobook. So obviously my experience is slightly different as I was listening to this one rather than reading it. That said, the production values were high and the two narrators, Faith Clark and Cary Hite did a great job with the voices.



This intriguing offering doesn’t just chart the relationship between Seeker and Jen – they are part of an online chat group. I very much enjoyed listening to the exchanges between the various characters – and the descriptions of the emojis they all used was amusing. Through the chats and getting-to-know-you games they played, the reader gets a chance to learn and appreciate who these people are and more importantly to the story – to care about them. There is also a fair amount of humour running through the story – some of the scenes at the Space Con had me grinning in wry recognition. If you’ve ever attended a SFF Con, you’ll appreciate those aspects. Though Aguirre hasn’t backed off from showing the darker sides of the slightly obsessive behaviour that brings such like-minded people together.

I enjoyed the fact that this book isn’t just alll about Seeker and Jen – and it also gives me hope that perhaps there may be other books in this series in the pipeline. I’d love it if there were, because the ending left me with a sense that there’s a lot more untold storylines to explore. As for Seeker and Jen and their unfolding romance – it’s really adorable. For once, it wasn’t all about raging physical passion, which frankly was a relief. For various reasons, both characters are very wary about getting attached. And while that isn’t an unusual trope, this time around it became a genuine impediment to them taking their relationship to the next level.

I completely believed in the strong emotional attachment between them and enjoyed the journey. Highly recommended for fans of human/alien romances that are more about feelings and less about their physical lusting after each other. While I obtained an arc of I Think I’m in Love With an Alien from the publisher via Netgalley, the opinions I have expressed are unbiased and my own.
8/10

The concept was engaging enough to encourage me to finish the book, but there was no true plot and the story bounced around so much it was hard to follow what the story actually was.

This had a cute premise and I am all for quirky FMCs, but this FMC had me cringing nonstop. Twenty percent in and the plot isn't moving along like I'd prefer. I don't think I enjoy plots that center around fandom, probably because I've never been part of one so I don't relate to it. I'm not interested in continuing this story.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the arc.

3/5 Stars – Cute, quirky, but missing some spark

This book definitely delivers on its quirky premise. The concept of an alien stranded on Earth blending into Scu-Fi fan culture and falling for a human fangirl is fun, and there's plenty of geeky charm to enjoy. Tam (“Seeker”) is an endearing outsider, and Jennette is the type of character you'd find geeking out in the best possible way at a Comic-Con, each character is well written.

That said, the story sometimes leans too heavily on the novelty of its setup without fully fleshing out the emotional stakes or world-building, and the constant "group chats" its a little gripe of mine, i really didn't like that personally.
If you’re in the mood for lighthearted alien-meets-girl fluff and a dash of spocd with a heavy dose of fandom energy, this will scratch the itch.

Overall, it’s an enjoyable ride if you’re into campy charm sprinkled with Sci-Fi spice
