Alien abduction, lovable characters, a goofy roadtrip romp through the Southwest. All SO Roswell! As a Connie Willis fan, I give her leeway when the book goes on a bit long…but she skillfully writes a nonverbal alien that resembles a tumbleweed into such a heartwarming lil buddy of a character. It‘s all about connection & learning to communicate. With some men in black level conspiracy theorists along with playing slots in desert casinos. 👽
