Love at first sighting.
Life is a headache for 15-year-old Dan. This isn’t some kind of metaphor. Dan suffers from migraines that make just about everything he does unbearable. Added to that he’s lost almost everyone he cares about. So he feels lonelier than the last puppy in a pet shop.
But one day he sees a mysterious girl digging in the rubbish bins behind his house. Just by being near her, he finds that all his pain goes away. So he wants to see her again, of course. And get to know her. But she’s a bit strange. And her big eyes make her look, well, like an alien.
Does she really exist? Or is she just a figment of an overactive, under-loved imagination?
Close encounters of the romantic kind.
From Northern England to outer space, and from Dan’s bedroom to the sandwich shop over the road, ALIEN LOVE STORY is about a close encounter of the romantic variety. But there’s more to it than that.
This book is about discovering parts of yourself you never knew existed. It’s about coping with grief and somehow moving on. And it’s about how Dan breaks into a mad scientist’s lab to perform a daring rescue – but that bit comes much later.
For now it’s enough to know there will be excitement, adventure and kissing. Lots of kissing. We did say it was a love story, didn’t we? So fasten your safety belt, put on some background music and enjoy the book.

Alien Love Story eBook AK Dawson Reviews
The premise of Alien Love Story is tragic. 15yr old Dan has lost his parents and brother in a car accident and has been sent to the north of England to live with his grandmother. Dan suffers from headaches, terrible headaches. Dan is lonely, lost, and these headaches are killing him. Until one day Dan meets Alexander, an alien that has run away from home, and he falls in love with her. There’s a lot of kissing, an attempted murder, and an alien abduction.
I think there are a few ways to look at Alien Love Story. It is on one hand well written and very funny. Dawson has a fabulous voice and his ability to write the mind of a disturbed teenager is superb. Dan’s inner dialogue is witty and smart but also very young. Dan’s conversations with Tony cracked me up and reminded me of some of the very best young adult writing.
I did feel like the abduction scenes wandered a little bit and if you take it all at face value there are a lot of things that don’t make sense in Alien Love Story. Alexander appears and disappears on a whim. Nana meets her and then denies it. No one else seems to notice the alien in the park with Dan.
I don’t want to give anything away here but I did not take Alien Love Story as a simple story about a teenager falling in love with an alien. For me this book is a tragedy. It is the story of a distraught young man whose world has fallen apart and whose mind is coping in a unique way. There are good hints along the way, read Alexander and Dan’s initial conversations carefully. By the end of the book I felt devastated for Dan.
Alien Love Story ends in something of a cliffhanger, if AK Dawson decides to write a sequel I hope it will have a happy ending.
Description A sci-fi romance about a 15 year old earth boy named Dan that suffers from severe migraines that are only soothed by the presence of a beautiful alien girl of about the same age. Dan, who is grieving the loss of his parents and brother consumes himself with tracking down this mysterious girl. Their love story takes them on a wild and dangerous adventure lightened with frequent humor.
"Stars surrounded him. Gravity deserted him. And Dan was floating in space."
In Short If you like the sound of a quirky love story between a human and alien with plenty of humor, action and danger check this one out. It does end in a cliffhanger so you will want (need) to read book 2 Alien Love Song.
"Everyone should try running naked through the corridors of an alien spacecraft at least once. It's invigorating."
Pros This is a very unique story that is full of humor and consistently surprised me on all the turns through the story. It was a quick fun read. I would definitely read more by this author. This book is very funny, it made me laugh quite a few times. The characters in this book are interesting individuals. His nana is a constant source of humor. The dialogue is great and entertaining. The alien and space travel elements are awesome. I can't say I've ever read anything like this before. It really made for an exciting and humorous read!
"Being abducted by aliens is as frightening and unnatural as going back to school after a long holiday."
Cons My biggest issue with this story is the ending. It ends suddenly with our protagonists still in danger. I feel like the story was still in progress and I've been left hanging. I'm very happy to have found out there is a sequel. My other issue is that the main character, Dan, annoyed the crap out of me with his act first, think never style. He uses absolutely no logic or common sense and always says and does the wrong things. At first I blamed his single-mindedness of constantly stalking trying to find his dream girl on him being a 15 year old boy. But even 15 year olds know you don't run around telling everyone your girlfriend is an alien unless you want her to get captured and dissected. His thought process and behavior overall was frustrating for me to read. Some things didn't make complete sense like the house arrest bit.
"So, he was taking a risk. But Dan was in a reckless mood. He even bought a couple of spring rolls."
Parent's Guide & Trigger Warnings Violence, gore, alien abduction violence, nudity, kissing, off-screen sex between minors.
Fifteen-year-old Dan has lived with his Nana in Newcastle for the last three months, ever since his parents and younger brother were killed in a car crash.
Since that day, Dan has been suffering from chronic migraines that often feel like some is shoving an over-sized pencil up his nose, or a screwdriver, and sometimes like a Woodpecker is having a go at trying to peck his head in! He doesn’t normally get any relief from his migraines, just some days are better than others.
One afternoon whilst out in the back alley of his Nana’s house, trying to get some fresh air, he notices someone rooting in the bins. Yelling at the person makes them stop, but he wasn’t expecting what he saw when the person turned around, nor how he would feel. He was staring into the huge eyes of a beanie-wearing girl, and his migraine had completely gone.
Who was the girl? How did she stop his migraine and why has he suddenly started dreaming about her naked!?
Alien Love Stor is a humorous YA book dealing with some hard-hitting personal issues, such as grief, in a non-preaching, fun manner.
Dan is a lovely young man, and for someone who has had to deal with the kind of trauma no fifteen-year-old should have to deal with, it’s no wonder that something had to give. Unfortunately for him, migraines were the way for his body to cope. He is full of one liners, and witty come backs, and I liked him a lot.
The book maybe a quick read at only 125 pages long, but it sure packs a lot in. Fans of YA novels will love this book. It has a steady pace throughout, and a beautiful mastered plot. I found myself absorbed into the strange world that Dan suddenly found himself in. Don’t expect this book to take itself too seriously though, as there are a lot of things that would defy the laws of the universe, but they do make for fun reading!
