I listened to the audio and the speaker was amazing! She had great voices for the female and male characters and I could feel her real get into character. 

The beginning was enjoyable because they’re sarcasm and flirting and confidence but it gets old when the main character does not realize her flaws. She holds herself like she’s better than others which isn’t cool. I like how she learns to soften up and not be sarcastic all the time. Let people in. I think Makai was her perfect match. I also liked the social dynamics and plot throughout the book. They talk about race and power and feminism and I was eating it up. 

I liked the ending the most and how they spoke about loving each other. I found the detail throughout to be a little much but the ending details about what they felt smelled and tasted added to the special moment of the two making up.
