After reading this book a second time, I can honestly say that I loved it even more the second time through!
The first time I read this story as an eBook, and then the second time as an audiobook.
As far as the audiobook goes, I loved both Kirby Heyborne and Candace Thaxton as narrators. I love how they brought the characters to life.
I also really enjoy Katja Millay's writing style. Having the story told in alternating POVs was really enjoyable. I'm always a fan of dual point of views.
Both Josh and Nastya were sarcastic and cynical at times, but that is what I enjoyed most about them. Also, their relationship was so cute. I honestly loved them and their domestic moments.
This book also dealt with several heavy topics in what felt a natural and realistic way that made me really feel for the characters.
Overall, I will definitely be reading this again!
