OK- this has to go on my want to read shelf. I love YA literature and aliens and mental illness are completely intriguing.

As a sufferer of mental illness, I can relate to the constant struggles of fighting your own mind, while trying to make others inderstand.

Your review is well-written and I love it. I appreciate the book focusing on mental issues, because I've had an experience with something pertaining to mind problems and it wasn't funny at all.

I think it would be very interesting read. Because you said that it's a YA without any love interest. I think I must try this out. Thanks for the review

An interesting plotline! It seems like Courtney is having a lot on her plate being a teenager. Though I'm not a teenager, these kinds of books always have a special place in my heart. Thanks for the review, my friend!

I always like a good YA book and Sic-fi is my preferred genre so this book sounds just about perfect for me. And I have a preteen so why not! Hope I like it as much as you did. Thanks for the concise and informative review.

The emotional depth of the characters really stood out to me in this book. The plot was engaging enough, but it was the characters that made it a worthwhile read.

It's clear that Courtney's realistic portrayal as a typical teenager grappling with seemingly supernatural experiences and her own sanity resonated deeply with you. Your appreciation for how the book handles the struggles of mental illness (or the accusation of it) adds a significant layer to your thoughtful review.

I agree with your thoughts on the plot and character depth. Your review made me reflect more on those parts. Well said!
