Book Summary:

Sedona Bruno just had her world rocked. She came home from work one day to find her husband cheating on her – with her cousin. So now Sedona is looking for a more positive change in life.

Naturally, this means Sedona is going to pack up her RV, complete with her two dogs and donkey. Traveling in an RV with a donkey is pretty unusual, but so is encountering UFOs. Yet that is the adventure Sedona has, unwillingly, embarked upon.

My Review:

If you’re looking for a book combining self-discovery and aliens, consider checking out Aliens, Campers, and Coffee. As an added bonus, there are cute animals! Two dogs and a donkey, of all things, to be exact.

Here’s what I loved about Aliens, Campers, and Coffee: I enjoyed Sedona’s adventure once it started. Obviously, the UFO bits held my attention the most, but there’s nothing new about that! I also loved that the author included so many pets; there aren’t enough books including animals in the world (and there never will be enough, as far as I’m concerned).

The intro is a bit rocky, and that’s intentional. Sedona needs a reason to leave her life behind, and she certainly got a good one. The reactions felt slightly off here, and I can’t quite pinpoint the reason. Overlooking that, it made for a great lead-in for the UFO chaos.

I want to note that Aliens, Campers, and Coffee is more religious than the description lets on. I’m not stating this as a dealbreaker, but I know that readers generally like to better understand what they’re in for. I might have skipped this book if I had realized that the self-realization journey would be more than half a religious experience. But that’s my personal taste.

Highlights:

• Extraterrestrials
• UFO/UAP Encounters
• Personal Journey
• Cute Animals

Trigger Warnings:

• Adultery
• Toxic Workplace
• Abductions
