Discussion Questions

[Olivia-Savannah]

After reading the book, stop by here to further your discussion with some guiding questions:

1. What is the meaning of the aliens looking exactly like fellow humans? What does this tell us about the ending of the world, and what humans have to do with it?

2. What does this book teach us about family? What are some examples of this throughout the novel?

3. Why do you think it was essential to have this kind of romance within the novel between Cassie and the love interest? What did the romance add to the novel?

4. Why was having so many different POVs necessary? What did this do to the story?

5. What do you think might happen in the next novel? How did you feel about the ending?

1. About the aliens looking like human's,(view spoiler)[they don't actually. They are residing in human body but actually have no form (hide spoiler)]. It is quiet scary if you can't recognize the human from the aliens in time of war!

2. Family is not only what you get by birth or is a blood-tie. Family is made with people who love and support you unconditionally and really think for your welfare at all times.

3. I did not like the romance angle so nothing much to add here.

4. I liked the different POV's. It's interesting to read a situation from different viewpoints. It add's to the overall feel of the book. The change of POV was a bit abrupt at times but did not bother me much.

5. I am eager to read the next book and definitely expecting bigger and badder things!

1. Poonam is actually right, I did make a mistake when writing this question. But I do find that it is chilling that we would have been unable to tell alien from human if this were real life, and I think the symbolism behind this is that we may very well be our own cause for the end of the world (if we step away from the book and look at reality.)

2. Poonam said it best - family goes beyond blood ties. It goes into friendship, care and even survival. I'll have to base this on what happens to Zombie and the gang.

3. Personally wasn't a fan of the romance. I think it was necessary to show that the aliens can feel and humanise them to some extent... but I would rather that part of the book was left out...

4. To show all the different aspects and add a lot of depth to the novel. The abrupt changes threw me in places, but I liked getting into everyone's minds.

5. I have no idea! I liked the ending though, and I want to read more :3
