Synopsis: 
 Moving to a different planet and away from her family was always going to be difficult, but Cara had thought that she would have her L'eihr boyfriend Aelyx to guide her through the foreign world. Instead, he had to stay behind to mend the broken alliance between their planets. As Aelyx becomes part of a PR tour to improve human-L'eihr relations on earth, Cara struggles to adjust to life on L'eihr, made more difficult by everyone hating her, and wonders if she'll ever be able to be happy on L'eihr--even with Aelyx. 
 Thoughts: 
 I am in love with this series. Even though Cara and Aelyx are separated by lightyears, their long distance romance is just as swoon worthy. It was interesting to see a YA book tackling the topic of a long distance relationship and the struggles that couples face (even more pronounced since they're on separate planets). 
 This is a great book series to put into the hands of reluctant readers and also a great series for a teen book group. So many great starting points to discuss prejudices and ethics and culture clashes. But despite all the conflicts and difference, it really highlights just how similar the human and L'eihr really are. Each group has their extremists and they both have adverse reactions to the other group's differences. 
 While most things wrap up there's definitely room for another book and I want need it.
