Leo is the best Christina Lauren book boyfriend to date and this is my favorite of their books so far. The adventure was good, still with the miscommunication trope but I didn’t mind it this time around. The adventure and imagery set this book apart from the others. Some of the codes and math went over my head but this was a fun, exciting and beautiful read.

“He'd loved Lily so deeply that it changed his biology. Standing here now, it seemed his love for her hadn't gone away, it had just been vacuum-sealed and stored. Back in her presence, the physical memory of his infatuation was released in a deluge, gasping to life, and adrenaline flooded his bloodstream.”

“He wondered if, looking down, the stars ever felt like falling, lovesick, onto the planets. The instinct was in him when he was over her, moving, unable to believe that she was real and her quiet sounds were real and the way she looked up at him was real. Just fall. It's okay. She had to see the truth tattooed in his eyes and scrawled across every feature: that he had always loved her, was loving her still. Leo would love Lily Wilder forever.”
