I was a little iffy about this book based on the title, but the description of Galaxy Quest meets Roswell sold me on it. Actually I would say it is more Galaxy Quest meets Resident Alien (the TV show, as I have not read the source materials.
The story was well told, with all the sci-fi nerdy details in all the right places. The shifting POV between the central characters was effective and the group chat/private chat chapters helped fill in the gaps.
The concern I had was that this story would get way too spicy with space spunk in all the wrong places, but telling the requisite love scenes from the other person's POV toned down the spice and kept if from turning into 50 Shades of Grays (and if you get that joke, this book if for you).

Another wonderful love story from Ann Aguirre. Similar to the Galactic Love books, a human and an alien learn to love each other.
The characters are a fun and diverse group, and I feel privileged to read their story early.

Cute, lots of chatting, lots of teen angst and thoughts. Lonely girl falls for online friend who is a real alien, no spoiler there, it's in the blurb - pretty simple, although should have some warnings for real teens, or anyone for that matter, not to meet strangers from chats in isolated situations or away from home, it won't always have a HEA.

A bit more procedural than Aguirre’s other alien romance books, but it leaves room for the small details of alien world building and characterization.
Good critique of capitalism.
My complaints:
Blaming sexual harassment and assault on “chemical dependencies” is wildly bigoted. Name the person as a sexual predator, but don’t vilify or moralize substance use. Disabled people in chronic pain need access to medications to help them. Disabled people have nothing to do with people that are sexual predators. Leave disabled people alone. Stop creating stigma and barriers around harm reduction and medical care. Stop assigning moral value to substance use.
