 Oh. My. Gosh. This book was so, so, so, unexpectedly amazing! There has been tons of hype over it and everyone seemed to love it, but I've never really been a fan of stories with alien attacks. Not books. Not movies. Not TV shows. So, I wasn't really expecting to like this book very much, but it was so hyped up and I was able to borrow it from the library as an eBook, so I decided to give it try. AND THANK GOODNESS I DID! It was so different then how I expected it and the storyline was so creative and unique from anything else I've ever read or seen. I can't recommend it highly enough, even to people who don't like aliens. You might be pleasantly surprised. I DEFINITELY was! 
 I really liked all of the characters, and how you got to alternate between the different POVs. It was really interesting to see so many different characters' experiences throughout the story and how they connected to each other. 
 And there were so many fantastic plot twists! (view spoiler)[ I loved the parts when Cassie and Evan were together and there were so many clues that made her suspect him. The gunpowder on his hands, how soft his hands were, and her gun in the barn. I was a bit suspicious at first, but I thought that Cassie was just being really paranoid. Until the M16 in the barn! At that point I finally decided that there was something wrong with the situation. And then when he found her!!! I was super scared for Cassie and what was going to happen. And then later on when she had run away from him in the forest after finding out he was an Other. I thought that she'd actually gotten away until he wrapped his arms around her. An when he took her guns I was beginning to think that maybe he actually was going to kill her. (hide spoiler)] 
 And that's another thing I loved about this book - It was super suspenseful and always had my heart racing! 
 I'm kind of hoping that in the next book (view spoiler)[ there will be a love triangle between Ben, Cassie, and Ringer. I know it's very unlikely, but I don't often read love triangles with two girls fighting for the guy, it's usually the other way around, and I think this would be a good opportunity for one.

 I am sooooooo excited to read The Infinite Sea, and I am definitely going to go see this movie when it comes out! I can't wait!
