I really loved this book. As a person of color and women interested in STEM i really connected with this book. That being said I think all of the STEM aspects were explained very well, so even someone who was only in the book for the romance or wasn't interested in STEM could understand.

I loved the storyline. I just wish we had gotten to see more development between Mickey and his family. And I hated the ending, not in a true way, but in a "I hate this book because it ended" type of way.
