The main character (Francine?) is as boring, vanilla, and devoid of personality as they come. She's dropped into this kooky annual Roswell alien convention when she flies in for a college friend's wedding. An alien abduction and manic roadtrip ensue during which several stereotypical locals become inadvertent ridealongs. Somewhere along the way, the alien is named "Indy," and an ET plot line develops in which "Indy" needs help getting home (or something?) and they careen around the desert in search of a destination to reveal itself.
This didn't work for me as a buddy comedy, an adventure of misfits, or a romance/meet-cute, but YMMV. Heard about it on a podcast and am generally down with a weird book especially a witty one. The reality was just okay.
