When an independent activist and her office-temp-with-a-doctorate buddy embark on a quest for a chocolate bar (a bar that serves not alcohol, but chocolate - in all its deliciously decadent forms), they pick up a hitchhiking extraterrestrial who's stopped on Earth to ask for directions.

I found myself caught between wanting to sit and read this all in one go and wanting to spread it out. I haven't ever laughed that hard and gotten to spend time with such unflinchingly tough ideas at the same time. C. Osborne
Excellent! Sadbury, Smashwords
Jass Richards is back with another exceptional book that entertains and informs as she mixes feminism, critical thinking, and current social issues with humour ... James M. Fisher, Goodreads
A lovely read! I enjoyed Jane and Spike's conversations immensely! TervenRainbows, Ovarit
Your novel offers a wonderfully original blend of comedy, philosophy, and psychology while inviting readers to examine familiar social issues. Through memorable characters, lively dialogue, and imaginative situations, you encourage readers to think critically about everyday assumptions and human behavior without losing the sense of fun that makes the story so engaging. ... We believe this inventive novel would spark fascinating discussions ...
