This was .... not great. Have I outgrown YA fiction?!??!
It is an interesting concept -- a human "passing" for alien on a conquered and vanquished Earth, but I just wasn't feeling it. The "alien" culture felt all too human (teenage angst and romance, adolescent tantrums, sisters "borrowing" their sister's clothes, dad being overprotective, etc.) and there was only passing references to the supposedly alien culture (brief reference to neck gills and an ability to breathe underwater, and relative strength and endurance which the main character struggles to maintain). I'm all about crazy alien world building (currently on a Sheri S. Tepper kick), and I wanted more of that.
I won this book through a giveaway.… (mais)

Humans did such a bad job taking care of the earth that when the Abdoloreans arrived they chose to wipe us out and start over to save the planet. Li was the only one saved and she is a dangerous secret.

An alien race, the Abdoloreans, hijacked Earth sixteen years ago, destroying all human life - except for Li who was adopted by one of the aliens, who has hidden her real identity as his daughter, raised her with his real daughter and spent her life training her how to blend and to survive.
