Scifi is all about framing human social issues in narratives about Others, so it shouldn't be surprising this one covers a contemporary topic: immigration, refugees, and (later on in the series, especially) how fearful people react to Others/Outgroup Members. Just an office romance-where one partner isn't human and just happens to be The Unpleasant IT Guy™.Īnd, of course, everyone in the IT department and the Intake Department totally ship them together and have an office pool betting on when they'll finally realize they lurve each other and finally get together. No rape non-con/dub-con sexual situations. It's a refreshing take on an alien romance, putting it in a mundane non-descript "future" setting, with refugees from a war-torn planet. ![]() Of the Office Aliens series, this one is my favorite, and I return to it every 4-6 months to reread. The pandemic has been rough on us all, yeah? I've lost track of how many times I've actually read this story-it's at least 3, but I'm sure it's actually 4 or 5-even if I didn't remember to mark additional read dates during later 2019 and early 2020. Rereading some books from our move in 2019 so I can write up reviews. ![]()
