A review by lauren_soderberg
Project A.I.D.E.N. by Lindsey Frydman

4.0

Project A.I.D.E.N. is a fast-paced, fully immersive experience that could easily be adapted to the screen. Set in the not-so-distant future, this book will give you a healthy dose of adrenaline, and the fluttery feeling of first love.

When Elena hits Aiden with her car, she doesn’t even have time to think about the reasons why he is miraculously uninjured. Because Aiden begs her to drive him away from the place he just escaped. Now on the run, Elena and Aiden become unlikely partners-in-crime, trying to figure out who wants Aiden gone, and why.

One of the things I enjoyed most about this story was its pace. Author Lindsey Frydman doesn’t waste an inordinate amount of time world building or doing anything else superfluous. Instead, Frydman drops readers right into this world and hits the ground running.

I also liked how the chemistry between Elena and Aiden develops slowly, yet surely, even as the events around them are moving at a fast clip. This is the kind of book you can sit down and just tear through, and it was something I could definitely see being made into a movie.

I really enjoyed this book, and think that it’s a great read for YA-aged readers and adults alike.
