Resumen del Editor

A cozy fantasy, coming-of-age story for fans of Sophie Kinsella and Rainbow Rowell.

Mona is no ordinary girl. She's the architect of Earth, a creator with immense power, and a fierce disdain for the flawed beings she helped bring to life—humans. When her twin sister, Penny, catches Mona in the act of devising a cataclysmic storm to eradicate humanity, she issues a challenge: live among them and experience their emotions firsthand and only then can Mona decide their fate.

Thrust into the vibrant Pacific Northwest, Mona must navigate a world where every moment is a test of her patience and a challenge to her preconceptions. With her sardonic wit and cutting humor, Mona begrudgingly interacts with the very creatures she despises. But as she experiences emotions for the first time, Mona's rigid views begin to waver.

Amidst the chaos of human life, Mona encounters Noah, a passionate and kind-hearted man whose dedication to his brother Oliver and their community is unwavering. As Mona and Noah's paths intertwine, an unexpected and deep romance blossoms. Noah's unwavering optimism and deep connection to nature challenge Mona's cynicism and ignite feelings she never thought possible.

Mona begins to see the beauty and resilience of humanity. Will her exploration of human emotions lead her to appreciate the complexity of life, or will it reinforce her resolve to wipe out humanity once and for all?

Unique concept, sister dynamics, great narrator, plus what even IS being human?

I loved this book! First of all, the author NAILED the Bellingham of it all, which was super exciting for me, as I miss that place ALL the time (especially the food). I also enjoyed the nuances of Mona learning more about how people speak as the story went on. There was a lot going on in this book—sibling dynamics, grief, aging, the definition of love and how it’s expressed, not to mention the most overarching question of whether humanity is good for the earth.

There’s a chapter that takes place in a library that manages to be traumatic, funny, and poignant simultaneously, which is not an easy feat.

The narrator for the audiobook was really great. She did a lovely job of making Penny and Mona’s voices unique, and I really loved how she brought the other characters to life too.

Love Letter To Humanity

Such a fun story! It’s a book about sisters, a book about being in love for the first time, and more than that it’s a love letter to humanity. It’s funny, and sweet, and somehow makes me want to be better. Would recommend!

Wonderful listen!

Mother Nature is upset with humanity and what we have done with her creation. Shes ready to end us all when her sister steps in and offers a deal, live amongst the humans, experience it and then, if you still hate them, go ahead and destroy them.
