This was really fun. I thought Julia's narrative voice was good, and the frustrations of being a child who is tagging behind their parents, for better or worse. Or how much kids want to believe in their parents. 

I really thought the book was hinting that Julia's dad had

early set on dementia or was just a giant attention-seeker. like, when josh's parents said they had a cut, then he magically had one too.

Even though the subject matter is aliens this is also very relatable for readers who have family or friends deeply ingrained in conspiracy theories. 

Overall, I enjoyed reading this from beginning to end.
