challenging
dark
emotional
reflective
sad
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
4.0
Boy gets abducted by aliens and has the choice to stop the apocalypses.
But this book is so much more than science fiction, actually,the aliens are just a metaphor for depression
It’s a book about mental health, dealing with depression, suicide and death in general.
The beginning was interesting but towards the middle it got a tiny bit boring but the ending was great but kinda predictable just like some of the plot.
IMO it’s kinda a mix of the perks of being a wallflower and Aristotle and Dante discover the secrets of the universe.
Would recommend to every teenager but check the trigger warnings !
