Following an accident, Tiffany is learning how to regain her life back and happens to run into Android Li Wei, who lives in her apartment complex and who is trying to learn what it is like to be human. As both grow closer, secrets are revealed and Tiffany finds that her life isn't exactly as she thought it was.
Interesting enough, but it didn't really catch my attention entirely until the later half, probably around chapter 10 or 11... A lot of what was mentioned was just confusing to start. The book assumes that you already know a lot about the books universe. It seems to be set in a futuristic alternate reality where climate change has really taken its toll on the environment and politics.

I've read a couple of other Alyssa Cole books in the Runaway Royals and Reluctant Royals series and this was very different from those books. It wasn't bad and if you like sci-fi romances then this will be up your street, but it wasn't really for me.
I didn't mind the romance, but I didn't find it particularly compelling. The pacing also felt very slow even though the book itself was quite short, and only the action scenes really held my attention. I will say, though, that the audiobook narration is fantastic. It's a full-cast production and has sound effects that make the story really immersive.
Content warnings for panic attacks, chronic pain, past emotional and physical trauma, strokes, explosions, violence.
