"You poor alien plebeian.” - not famous last words, but very Simmi-esque
Simmi! Simmizer, Simmister ole buddy ole pal you did a whole lot of brave stuff right out of your comfort zone. Neary a lab coat in sight. Pat on the back to you good sir - hands sanitized to within an inch of rawness, naturally. Also, if I'd landed in a jungle filled with mosquitos trying to chomp away at me I'd have a panic attack or two - wait a minute ... Well that's already happened. You're in good company Sihmee.
Romance Plot/Storyline/Themes: I did expect Simmi to be paired up with his antithesis, but I did not expect Aurora or a kidnapping and you know what, 2024 is the year of pleasant unexpected things I guess. I loved the kindness shown to Simmi and him going against his OCD or better nature to connect with Aurora.
Character Development/Favorite Character:
Was Aurora a criminal or fugitive before capture? Some of her behavioral traits really had me going in the first few chapters. I love how full and complete both Simmi and Aurora are before they meet but much better together.
Favorite/Curious/Ludicrous/Unique Scene:: Listen, I love the tropics but I'm in agreement with old Simster - Mosquitos can get fvkd.
Favorite/Curious/Ludicrous/Unique Quotes:
●"Fool, you tried to slap me on my nose. You're a creature with soft outer flesh. What did you expect to happen?" (Simmi on breaking a hand inadvertently )
●"What I wouldn't give right now for disinfectant" (Simmi reading my mind)
●"I've never been so female-handled in my life" (Simmi sums up Aurora nicely )
Favorite/Curious/Ludicrous/Unique Concepts: Being considered alien is relative in the grand scheme of things. Simmi can't believe they would deign to call him alien.
