INTERSTELLAR meets NOPE with the emotional appeal and first alien contact of ARRIVAL & the suspense and alien hostility of THE FIFTH WAVE with a pinch of tragic/forbidden romance of the song WE CANT BE FRIENDS

#DVpit #YA #literary #scifi
This is the FMC, Astra, original artwork by me. I drew this using Procreate on my iPad Air M3 13”. My artwork captures Astra’s grief as she navigates her life torn with alien contact and humanity at risk including her loved ones.

I have an early fan on insta saying that INTERSTELLAR and ARRIVAL mix together would be the most intriguing story. All that when I went viral🥲💗

5TH WAVE meets NOPE meets ARRIVAL meets INTERSTELLAR

After encountering an alien while dealing with grief, Astra, a runaway, must choose between saving humanity from an alien invasion and reconciling with her dad before it’s too late.

ALT👀
#BluePit #YA #literary #scifi #book
It’s a literary fiction that deals more with grief, father and daughter relationship, coming of age, friendship, existential crises, love, loneliness, and themes like person vs society, person vs person and person vs self. It has the same portrayal of the father and daughter story of INTERSTELLAR, first alien contact of ARRIVAL, suspense and mystery of NOPE and the alien hostility and female high school MC of THE FIFTH WAVE.
