    But look. In the past few days, you have become one of the few humans who have definitively learned that not only are you not alone in the universe but there are literally almost an infinite number of options out there. All problems are small, and remarkably solvable.
  


YES.YES.YES!!! 



This book is just a giant disco ball of parties, really. It's an incredible combination of Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy and Scott Pilgrim VS. The World and Almost Famous (and a bit of Paper Towns). This a romantic comedy about a teenage hero and his quest to get his sweetheart back after she got abducted by aliens 5 days before prom. So yes, it's adventurous as much as it's absurd and sarcastic and romantic. Like, OMG. I LOVE THIS BOOK. LOVE. I can't believe not many people have read it like guyss this is SERIOUSLY GOOD!!!

So we get a textbook loser, Bennett Bardo, who wrote a bunch of song no one ever heard, harbored feelings for girl who never acknowledged his existence, and applied to only ONE college and hoped for the best (who the hell does that??)


  “My brain is developed.”
“No no, we definitely got a reading that your decision-making skills were subpar.”
“You can’t know that from a scan. I’ve always done great in school.”
“If I remember correctly, our equipment said you only applied to one college. Anybody whose brain was fully developed would never do that kind of thing.”
Impressive technology.


And then we've got effortlessly cool ass chick, Sophie Gilky. A mystery. A muse to possibly every single one of Bennett's unsung songs. A Margo Roth Spiegelman to Q. A Norah to Nick. A Ramona Flowers to Scott Pilgrim. She's an essential part of the equation, and now she's gone. Right in the middle of New Mexico desert, a headlight shone up in the sky and BOOM she was gone. 

Right after she promised to be Bennett's date for the upcoming prom this Friday. 

So it's up to Bennett now to get her back. And so the journey half way through the universe began. From the belly of a gigantic space beast to Dondoozle, the galaxy's biggest music festival, Bennett would have to do everything in his power to rescue Sophie from alien freaky experiment and take her to the prom in time. If you like an underdog hero, badass heroine, a bunch of fun people, great music and hilarious stuff then this book will never ever disappoint you!

Supporting characters were the main source of power that surged this story forward. The Perfectly Reasonable, aka the one billion sixteenth most popular band in the galaxy, showed up right just in time to scooped Bennett up from the earth soil and on to the rescue of Sophie. I fell in love with their stupid band dramas and snarky comments about eat other. They were hilarious and their unsaid bond was super adorable.


  “When you don’t get something you want, give yourself a moment to feel terrible about yourself, and when that’s over, remember that all rejection means is that every other possible path has just opened up to you. It’s freedom.”


You see, this wasn't just about a typical romance but also the rebuilding of courage and friendship through the most awesome thing in life called music. This book has BROMANCE MATERIAL that got me teary eyes and the last 1/3 of the book was probably one of the best literary experience I've ever felt. I got teared up, seriously, with goose bumps and all. It's all about courage and friendship and doing what it takes to see your dreams coming to life. This is quite a big deal.

Things would definitely get more and more interesting as pages go. It might take a while to adjust to the tone and style of the book, just hang in there. The story was unpredictable and absurd as hell. I got hooked right from the first page and finished the book in one setting. Believe me when I say, it has great story, awesome characters and Best. Ending. Ever. This book is absolutely worth it.

It’s Superbad meets Spaceballs in this hilarious extraterrestrial road trip! Just a few days before prom, Bennett pulls off something he never imagined possible: his dream girl, Sophie, agrees to be his date. Moments afterward, however, he watches Sophie get abducted by aliens in the middle of the New Mexico desert. Faced with a dateless prom (and likely kidnapping charges), Bennett does the only thing he can think of: he catches a ride into outer space with a band of extraterrestrial musicians to bring her back. Can he navigate alien concert venues, an extraterrestrial reality show, and the band’s outlandish egos to rescue his date in time for the big dance? Fans of King Dork and Winger won’t want to miss this!

One of the best Young Adult books I've read

This was delightful! The plot could have easily tread into predictable territory but while somethings I predicted it ended in a really refreshing way that was as hilarious and sarcastic as the rest of the book. If you're looking for an adventure that is wacky and laugh out loud funny, definitely check this out!
