My Two Cents
Everyone who knows me knows how I feel about Stephanie Meyer, or more accurately, the Twilight series - so needless to say I was very skeptical about this book. But I am here to tell you that I loved it! It was such an interesting take on an age-old theme (aliens invade and take over Earth) and what I love most about the book is that it is told from the alien's point of view. It is mature - not "silly" at all. Nor is it over the top Science Fiction-ey. It is a great, very original love story. Ms. Meyer should really put her talents to good use and write more books for us grown up girls!
