I've heard such wonderful things regarding Jennifer Yen and her novel, A Taste for Love. While I haven't read it, it's been on my ginormous TBR for some time. Having the opportunity to read another by her was an easy snag.
A STEM YA is right up my alley. I assumed based on the title and premise I would get a nerdy YA romance. The first third though was slow to develop - no romance, not a lot of STEM or character growth - and the main character, Gigi, was an oblivious little rich girl. Her lack of awareness regarding money and others' abilities to have or use it was off-putting.
The narration is done well though. If I was invested in the story, Annie Q would make it an easy listen.
Thank you to PRHA for the alc. All thoughts are my own.
