This was a great book. You’d think that a story about a boy who saves alien girl causing aliens to attack would be stupid and unbelievable but it’s not. I totally believed everything that was happening.Even though the book is written from the point of view of Joe, you know exactly what everyone else is thinking through Joe’s thoughts and observations ... and some of his thoughts are really funny.Although it was a romance, it wasn't the love at first sight kind but one that built up as they got to know each other.This is a story full of really well-developed characters. You expect that the main characters will be great and I loved Joe and Sarah but there were a lot of other great characters in the book like Joe’s Nan and his friends and his crazy neighbor. However my favorite person was Jake. He told really unfunny jokes at all the wrong times in his attempt to be human. Hilarious!The author leaves you on a cliff-hangar at the end of each chapter and I couldn't stop reading.
