This is a beautifully written story that forces the reader to think about the sad state of the world. But this book has a hopeful tone. When Everything Changed is told in first person by an unnamed protagonist. I love that the reader doesn't know the details about the main character, because it makes the protagonist more relatable.The story takes place about five years after the earth is invaded by an alien race known as "Guardians." After seeing the bleak state of the world, the Guardians take matters into their own hands, feeling responsible for the humans' failure to live meaningful lives. People eventually accept the fact that aliens are running the show, and they're able to improve their lives, but it's still difficult for them to live with purpose.When Everything Changed is a real page turner, and I finished it in one sitting. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys stories about aliens, existential philosophy, or the less-than-ideal state of modern politics. I have to give props to Edward Wolfe for writing such a thought provoking book. Well done, sir!
