My summary: Farrah Lin and Blake Ryan are college students abroad for one year in Shanghai, China. Farrah is from California with hopes of becoming a designer. Blake is from Texas and gave up a successful college football career and is escaping abroad as he finishes up a business degree. Farrah first was annoyed by the cocky Blake, but as part of the same small foreign exchange friend group, they soon become friends and then lovers as the clock ticks down on their one year together. 
My thoughts: This book is told from a dual POV and the audiobook has a female and male narrator. The narrators annoyed me a bit. The internal monologues were fine, but them doing other voices was grating. The volume level wasn’t consistent between the two narrators, so I found myself constantly having to adjust the volume. As far as the plot goes, it was fine albeit slow paced. More melancholy than I was expecting and I’m afraid I’m just too old now to appreciate the partying and naive college student POV.
