Book description
Alienated: A Stellar Waste of Space
Melissa Landers has boldly gone where countless YA authors have gone before-straight into the black hole of clichΓ©d alien romance. In "Alienated," she somehow manages to make first contact feel as fresh as last week's cafeteria pizza.
Our heroine Cara gets the golden ticket to host an alien exchange student, complete with all the perks of intergalactic nepotism. Because nothing says "journalistic integrity" like blogging about your extraterrestrial roommate for internet fame. The premise screams originality-human teenager falls for sexy alien-but Landers delivers exactly what you'd expect from a grocery store checkout romance with better special effects.
Aelyx, our alien heartthrob, apparently skipped the "charm" module in his intergalactic education program. He's cold, brilliant, and inexplicably gorgeous-the literary equivalent of a supernatural boyfriend factory output. Meanwhile, Cara navigates the treacherous waters of high school politics and species discrimination, because apparently teenagers haven't evolved enough to handle actual aliens.
The plot thickens when anti-alien hysteria sweeps the school faster than a flu outbreak. How refreshing to see that human nature remains predictably terrible, even when faced with cosmic diversity. Threatening notes and police escorts add that much-needed spice to an otherwise bland academic setting.
Landers deserves credit for attempting to blend social commentary with teenage melodrama, even if the execution feels like watching a toddler try to assemble IKEA furniture. The romance develops with all the subtlety of a spaceship landing-loud, obvious, and slightly embarrassing.
While "Alienated" promises interstellar intrigue, it delivers standard-issue teenage angst with a side of poorly explained alien biology. But hey, at least the author's newsletter signup is prominently displayed-because nothing says "literary merit" like aggressive email marketing.
