A fun, exciting road trip romance with an alien! I liked the journey that the two characters had to go through.
The villain was pretty one-dimensional and didn't add much. The main thrill of the journey is the chase and hope that they don't get caught, all while they have cute and sweet moments getting to know each other.
The heroine has had a rough life after her dad passed away when she was younger. Warning that there is fatphobia and body shaming in this, not from Rendash, but from the loser human boyfriend. I think Zoey is well developed, but I wish she was able to get self esteem on her own rather than from Rendash being attracted to her. Of course, it's wonderful that Rendash loves her completely and sees her beauty.
Out of everything, the main thing that bothered me was that Zoey never contacts her best friend to let her know she's okay or that she won't actually be coming to live with her. If my best friend was expecting me, I would find a way to let her know I'd fallen in love with an alien and had to run.
If you like action, decent world-building, weird alien peens, and tropes like one bed and forced proximity, you'll enjoy this.
Trigger warning for attempted r@pe by a random man. Any woman reading it will know what's going to happen, so it's not a surprise and thankfully Ren is nearby to stop it.
