Some nice things people have said about the book:

"Recommended for all who have felt like an outsider looking in." —  Library Journal

"I'm so grateful for McGowan's new longform storybook alien adventure. Told from the perspective of an alien scout, McGowan paints a radiant, gentle universe, where alienated humans and alien aliens exist side-by-side." — Dash Shaw (Discipline, Cryptozoo)

"My Life Among Humans is a sweet, empowering story about our capacity for connection — both human and alien." — Ryan North (The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, Slaughterhouse-Five: The Graphic Novel)

"My Life Among Humans is a whimsical and accessible story for teens who are new to science fiction, while still containing powerful reflections on what it means to be human. The alien is designed adorably and voiced in a way that allows readers to identify with its accidental invasion. Anyone who has had a terrible boss in retail or food service will recognize the alien’s experiences." — Young Adult Library Services Association
