Double Apex by Josie Juniper

2.5

Double Apex by Josie Juniper was a bit of a mixed experience for me, and I struggled to connect with the main characters. They both felt somewhat flat, and the chemistry between them came across as forced, even bordering on uncomfortable at times. I enjoyed MacKenzie Cartwright’s narration, which brought some life to the story, but Jonathan Lake's portrayal of Cosmin felt awkward and cringey—it might have been a choice to fit Cosmin's character, but it didn’t land for me. Phaedra’s relationship with her supposed best friend was confusing as well; she was inexplicably rude to her, making it hard to see why they were even friends. Despite these issues, the story did have some intriguing moments, and I appreciated the unique concept Juniper was trying to bring to life. Ultimately, though, the execution left me wanting a bit more depth and clarity in the character dynamics.

I received an ALC from the publisher for review.
