Human girl is now telling alien boy the story from the Star Wars book Lost Stars. Now, look -- I love that novel! But just like the Narnia thing, this is such a bizarre detail to include. He literally doesn't know what Star Wars is. Maybe start him with the plot of the movies before going to an obscure spinoff?
This book started out feeling like a two-star read for me, but I think at this point it's a one.

And we're introducing time travel now when the book is almost done, because why not I guess.

Having a character point out that instalove is a cheesy trope doesn't make her instalove any less of a cheesy trope.

Y'all should have had this conversation many many chapters ago. Argh, I hate miscommunication drama.

The alien who doesn't know our culture asks for a story, and the human describes The Light Between Worlds rather than Narnia? What a bizarre writing choice.
