Best mainstream book I’ve listened  to this quarter, maybe even the year. I didn’t expect to be as invested in the story as I was. I also, didn’t expect to want a couple to work so badly. 

The beauty of this is its not just Kiki and Kai’s story. Their friends are all meandering around the love maze trying to figure out whether or not to take the risk with whomever they’re interested in. 

Kiki is the pilot of the ship, giving out advice, while Malakai is the navigator, gathering intel and charting the course that will inspire others to jump into love’s ever flowing seas.   

No spoilers here. You have to experience this one for yourself.
