I think this one will stick with me. I felt seen by this book. There were a few details where the timeline didn't totally line up, but I'm willing to look past that.
Beautyland often gets categorized as sci-fi but I wouldn't really say it is. It is objectively about an alien, but really is more of a character based, coming of age (?) story about our MC trying to find her place in the world and make sense of it all. I personally love character explorations, but if you're looking for plot-heavy space adventures, this isn't that.
