Here's a solo on Bluesette!

Thoughts on Aliens?
"Think of how wonderful it will be when they contact us." The same sentiment I expressed a lot.
The plot is a bit clunky in a lot of places, but I didn't really mind it, and as someone who enjoys lots of long, drawn-out, complicated sci-fi plots, it felt like I was being entertained, albeit in a strange way.
The thing about "love is a social construct" is that some of the other things in that book are not that well handled. I was sort of expecting something better than "a bunch of characters are repeatedly shown to have some particular psychological trait and no one ever bothers to say what they think that trait is about (and often we aren't told that, either)," or "people have different ways of expressing emotions (and this fact isn't explored in any interesting way) / have to constantly worry about whether they are showing a given emotion in a socially appropriate way / etc."
The main characters are pretty boring, in addition to the above, and the world is full of strange alien stuff but the worldbuilding never feels like it's working hard to justify itself. I don't really care much about the world.
Overall, I think it might have worked better if the sci-fi was more tightly connected to the romance, although the story as it stands is definitely good, if not great.
Was introduced to this great recording today
