Logue's dry sense of humor makes this dual point of view novel a fun read in addition to an honest look at the depth of feeling between teens falling quickly in love.The relationship between the two main characters is funny, unique and genuine. The fact that one of them is an alien seems to make him even more human. Memorable.

This book was pretty entertaining and not really what I expected. This book teaches you that you can be in love with someone or something even if others think it's not right or unusual. I like that the perspectives change back and forth so you can have your own opinion throughout the chapters. This is a fantasy in my opinion, I like how the author left the technical things about aliens out of this book as well.
Great story line, felt the story was a bit short and could have been expanded into a larger story.
Aliens coming to earth to retrieve young girls to repopulate their planet. Yep that is a good concept.
This book was a very good outline of what could be a very very interesting book.
I'm glad I picked this book while browsing through the YA section at the library. I wonder why I've never stumbled upon this book before! It was a really interesting story! Good pacing, clean writing, and a good amount of romance.
