The Road to Roswell by Connie Willis
3.0

The Road to Roswell is a road-trip book. It's also an alien abduction book. The alien abducts a handful of people, and forces them to go on a road trip.

Yes, it's as absurd as that sounds. It's also very funny! I was laughing at many of the jokes in here. It's a very cute book, with cozy friendships.

It's very much a road-trip story, with all that entails. Chapters traveling around in the desert. Chapters of getting lost. Chapters of making progressively crazier stops. All inching towards the destination.

What I liked best was that there was that the humans cannot communicate with the alien. It provides some very comical moments, and some more thoughtful ones.
What I disliked most was the romance, which felt very tacked on without much development.

Thanks to Netgalley and Del Ray for a copy of this book to review. All opinions are my own.
