🎧 Dual 3rd person POV. Narrators were John Cho and Philippa Soo, I love both of these actors. They both did a decent job, but they didn't put in that extra oomph to their acting that I think audiobooks require (versus acting on stage or screen).
🌶️ 0/5 This was the most chaste book I've read in a while. There was barely even kissing on the page. The door is fully closed. Sex happens, but it's just alluded to afterwards, nothing on page.
🏳️🌈✊ Both MCs are Asian (one full, one mixed). I appreciated the mixed race representation with a character who is only ambiguously ethnic, and who doesn't have any cultural connection to her heritage. It's a more nuanced diversity that we don't get a lot of but I recognized some of myself in her. FMC's best friend is queer, and another side character is hinted at being queer but we don't know definitively.
