Wow. Everything about this book pops. The author's narrative voice is electric. The college setting is lively and well developed with fun side characters and lots of campus gossip to fill it out. Most importantly, Kiki and Malakai are incredible both as individual characters and as a couple.

I read a lot of romance and I feel like I often run into fictional couples whose chemistry is talked up through their internal monologues more than it's actually demonstrated through their interactions. But every scene between Kiki and Malakai was absolute fire, and I was wholly invested in their relationship as well as their individual happiness. Not to mention Kiki herself (the sole POV character) is just awesome. I felt like I understood her completely and admired the hell out of her.

Also major props to the audiobook. Weruche Opia brings so much life to the role, and I particularly loved her readings of the radio show segments.

I'm begging y'all to pick this up. It's just so damn good.
