Where is all this love coming from?

Alien Tango - Gini Koch

Alright, first we have her bestest buddy from hs/college/etc. who has been "in love" with her since 9th grade. Then we have the guy she dated in hs for a year still bearing a torch for her (impressing her is why he became an astronaut, he has her pictures everywhere, and every girlfriend he's had has had to compete with her memory). All of this is bad enough but mother dearest has essentially been encouraging these losers (yes; losers. The old boyfriend, she didn't even recognize, and the other, waiting 'til hs reunion less than 12 hours after she'd broken up with H and then proposing to her?). I'd say mom was speciest if it weren't for the fact that she was trying to herd her toward the H's cousin in the first book.

 

No - not liking mom at the moment.

 

The aggravating part is all this matchmaking bs sidetracks you from the actual story, and that is that an anti-alien organization and a congressman who is apparently a serial killer are trying to bring the A-Cs to heel, mostly by killing off the Alpha team (the one with the leaders, naturally)

 

Minor quibble - "Lost Highway" is hardly a hard rock song...

 

'Nother mnor quibble - fair coloring is not something I associate with Jewish people (h's dad is Jewish. She's said to have inherited his fair coloring but her mother's features, so she doesn't look jewish. Eh?)
