Alien instalove can be fun. Fated mates who are confused by how horny they are for each other? I normally eat that up. 

But I guess I have a limit? Because this was my limit.

Maybe it was how insta this instalove was? Maybe I got tired of the MCs thinking ‘why am I so obsessed with him/her’ on every single page? Maybe it was how obvious and forshadow-y the plot progression was? Maybe it was how illogical their character motivations felt?

Idk.. I just didn’t care. And as every new thing introduced (their alien city and culture, different alien interpersonal conflicts, rules about mates, etc) was added to the ‘don’t care’ pile.. I had to knock this down to two stars.
