Two years ago, a misunderstanding between the leaders of Earth and the invading Ilori resulted in the deaths of one-third of the world's population. Seventeen-year-old Janelle "Ellie" Baker survives in an Ilori-controlled center in New York City. With humans deemed dangerously volatile because of their initial reaction to the invasion, emotional expression can be grounds for execution. Music, art and books are illegal, but Ellie breaks the rules by keeping a secret library. When a book goes missing, Ellie is terrified that the Ilori will track it back to her and kill her. Born in a lab, M0Rr1S was raised to be emotionless. When he finds Ellie's illegal library, he's duty-bound to deliver her for execution. The trouble is, he finds himself drawn to human music and in desperate need of more. They're both breaking the rules for the love of art--and Ellie inspires the same feelings in him that music does. Ellie's--and humanity's--fate rests in the hands of an alien she should fear. M0Rr1S has a lot of secrets, but also a potential solution--thousands of miles away. The two embark on a wild and dangerous road trip with a bag of books and their favorite albums, all the while creating a story and a song of their own that just might save them both.… (más)

It started out well, and I was actually enjoying it. But man. Once Morris and Ellie got on the way, the dialogue got unbelievably trite and clunky. The story didn't get any better either. Some aliens ex machina, unrevealed allies that never had any good reasons to lie, and some more trite dialogue. And speeches. Internal ones, external ones, with cookie cutter sentiments. The book had moments when it was working, but it lost me the rest of the time.

Oh, and it's not finished. Not sure if there is a sequel, but the story ends in the middle. ( )

I keep wavering between a 3 and 4, but just know I enjoyed reading this a lot. The dystopian vibes felt plausible even if some the Ilori stuff felt under-baked. I especially liked the book and music references, and how Janelle “Ellie” had agency, whether she made the right decisions or not she still chose them.

Also, there are some seriously cute and poignant lines/moments. If I had read the book version, I would have highlighted them all.

Hey Netflix, yoohoo, do you want to adapt this one?

I wanted to know more about AvR0la. Like, why were they so loyal to Morr1s. Did Glind connect them?

Also, Brixton I know... plot twist but why was it so messy tho? There was no foreshadowing... just bam! I've always loved you, bro. ( )

There is a LOT going on with this book. Some readers will really thrive with it. Others, nope. Labmade aliens and vaccines that make you easier to enslave pop music romance = ??? ( )

Simply beautiful. My anxious soul skipped a beat with this read.

The musical references ugh, so perfect. I want more music obsessed characters in books! Seriously love this book. It was exactly what I needed to read right now.

I loved the social commentary, the fact that it is set in today's world, the fear, the hope, the book love. So many great aspects of this story.

The way it displayed how easy it could be to have a gender understanding society, it felt normal and fluid.

The characters were so life like I could feel them as if I knew them personally. I laughed, cried and cursed with them throughout the book. I am usually not one of young adult books, as the characters are often portrayed horribly inaccurate. But this book hit it out of the of the park.

If you love books set in our world, with fantasy elements, and come with a deep messaged packed into it, you're going to love this book. ( )

Post-apocalyptic US wherein aliens have taken over and are working on a vaccine that will render humans into unthinking shells to be rented out and inhabited by the aliens' consciousness...es...
Meh. I had trouble focusing on this one. There's a teen ace girl and an ace humanoid alien cyborg-like person, and they like each other and run off together to save the planet, I think. *shrug* I do like the ace representation, though, even if I didn't love the pacing and the plot. ( )
