I thought this was great!! I loved Kiki’s narrative voice and thought the entire storyline with their relationship, while a little ridiculous at the jump (but in a fun, omg drama way - like good ridiculous) was surprisingly realistic in how it developed, their hurdles, how they handled them, etc — it’s a very cute first love type storyline so i liked that they kind of had to figure out how exactly to communicate together, how it wasn’t perfect, etc. Kiki & Malakai are both really well-realized as characters which I really appreciated a lot. Had some problems w the pacing in the second half (especially since it takes so long to get to where the blurb stops) but still really enjoyed this one <3 and I think the sequel follows them out of college, which I’m excited about because I want to see if they can make it work after graduation
