My Alien' is a humorous yet touching YA book about two beings from different worlds who, despite everything, not only learn about each other but also about themselves. Zoe and Rion are dissimilar in more ways than one, but in this case the saying is reversed- opposites don't attract.

Synopsis: Zoe Brennan has everything sorted. Finally, she's good friends with the ultra cool Jas and part of her popular group. She even has plans to make new boy, Chad Everett, fall for her. But on one disastrous day at the beach all that changes when she encounters Rion, an extremely annoying alien who informs her they are connected - for life. Bossy and egotistical, he has no hesitation in telling her that exercise, studying and green tea should take precedence over boys, parties and fast food. Like that was ever going to fly. But the trouble really starts when he turns up at East Valley High. Students, teachers and parents alike fall under his spell. Only Zoe knows his secret and even if she told her friends, no one would believe her. What is she going to do about her alien? 'My Alien' is a humorous, yet touching YA book about two beings from different worlds who, despite everything, not only learn about each other but also about themselves

Review: This book is really funny and it’s pretty entertaining. The characters are lovable and the pacing is really fast, so once you’re into the book it goes by very quickly.

However, I did feel that the comments about Harry’s weight was very insensitive and it felt like Zoe was saying that you could only be attracted to people by their looks. This really had a negative impact on me as a reader. The book was also a little too cliché for me.

Verdict: A funny book that might be your type of romance.
