DNF at 20%.

it took me SO long to get through the first 20%, guys. what the hell. maybe i’m just too old for teenage drama. the whole time maya is yelling at her mum for not getting her a car, i’m like honey please grow up. jesus.

the romance was PAINFUL. i don’t know how it ends but it seems like jamie and maya get together??? just for the record, i wanna say jamie and kevin have more chemistry than jamie and maya and kevin only appears for like five seconds.

1.0

Political propaganda thinly veiled as YA romance. Very shallow treatment of the cultures/religions of the two main characters. Disappointing romance.

Audio was a bit odd too. Especially the male voice. Extremely long pauses between every single sentence or after every comma (think William Shatner cranked to high), but the actual speaking was so fast it was sometimes difficult to make out.

YES.

Becky Albertalli is on autobuy for all the books.

Also, kids caring about the world and wanting to be change makers gives me hope (even if they're only book characters).
