In the future the galaxy is full of lots of aliens, but humans are known but are certainly not the dominate species in the universe. Firstname Lastname is on her own and running cons and small crimes to survive. Not her real name and it is a constant running joke due to a paperwork mix up. She gets picked up by a repo company after using some good software hacks on the wrong car and joins their team. This is more of a comic novel and not a serious SF novel. The hottest band is a group of kids from Earth that were playing in their garage. You do find out her real name by the end of the book and she does some growing up and there are lots of comments from the aliens about how strange humans are compared to most other aliens. A fun light show more beach read and I would read more in this setting for a fun light read.

Scrappy little girl becomes friends with a variety of aliens in a team of repo men. Supposed humorous quips fall flat for the most part.
Did not finish after the 2nd chapter.

It’s sci-fi humor, but it’s not overdone, winding up in a series of escalating capers with an engaging protagonist.
