This was such a unique take on the alien invasion story. This diverse anthology splits a single accidental alien invasion into one flowing plot with each individual story written by a different author. The stories lean toward romance and coming of age stories. It explores a variety of identities and even different locations around the country.
The collection is a mix of heartwarming and humorous. The characters find themselves in odd situations with a lot of fish out of water humor. In some stories the aliens are the focus, some the humans experiencing the alien invasion are the focus, and some are a mix of the two. While the stories were all different and written by different authors, I think they were able to align their writing styles in a way that flowed really well. I have read some of the authors before and some I have not, but everything matched up really well.
Disclosure: I received an ARC of this book from the publisher. I also pre-ordered my own copy (support indie bookstores!).
