Alienated is about a normal high school teenage girl, Cara Sweeney (pronunciation: Care-a). Cara’s goal is to get into a prestigious college and the only way to do that is if she lets a L’eihr (alien from planet L’eihr) stay in her home. By doing so, the government will pay for any college she applies. She accepts without really knowing that her life is about to change drastically.
When I first started reading Alienated, my first thought was that it seemed a lot like the television show Star-Crossed. As I continued reading, I noticed that the things that make them similar are aliens and the interplanetary relations, along with wanting the aliens out of planet Earth. The story line is way different and I find it so interesting.
I found the book to be a bit slow, like a drama but the plot always kept me going. I wanted to know more about how everything would turn out. There were parts in the book that got me teary-eyed and parts where I couldn’t stop laughing. This book won’t let the readers down.
When I finished reading, I wanted more. It leaves a cliffhanger as to “what happens now?” that you just need to read the second book.
