Connie Willis' The Road to Roswell
The word for the first half of this book is WACKY, and the word for the second half is SLOW. I actually enjoyed the wackiness—this book is about a young woman who’s flying out to her best friend's wedding, and it turns out the best friend's fiancé is a UFO nut, and the protagonist thinks it’s all very ridiculous, but then she is actually abducted by an alien. And various kidnappings and misadventures ensue! But I do think this would have benefited from being shorter, especially in the last third. It just felt like it was spinning its wheels. It was clearly going to be a rom-com, so let it be a rom-com! I also found the very end confusing, like I was missing some of the text. I dunno, B.
