Beta Reader Wanted (Sci-fi)

Hello, my name is Alba and I'm an avid reader, but also a writer and Booktuber. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCT0L...
I am passionate on dissecting and analyzing characters, world-building (even if it's not Fantasy), prose and voice, plot and general enjoyment.





Looking for beta readers for a science fiction novel. Light sci-fi, at 90K words in total. It's gone through a couple redrafts at this point.
The novel is set in more or less contemporary times, except that there was an alien invasion. The story follows a handful of characters a decade on from the invasion, which humanity barely thwarted, most of whom were directly affected and bear lasting scars from it. Deals with themes/topics such as discrimination and mental health. There is also a fair of cursing in the book.
Do let me know if you want me to expand on any this.
As the story's set in the UK, there are quite a bit of vernacular words used throughout, so would prefer at least one beta reader familiar/comfortable with that.
Another preference would be for the beta-reading to be done as inline comments as the person reads (reacting as you read) rather than receiving a report or some such at the end. Obviously, I'd have questions after the read was done.
If interested, please preferably contact me via my email below:
