Thank you NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for the audiobook ARC of this book.

4.5 out of 5 stars

This was an overall fun book with a lot of interesting elements.

The fact that this story was set around a STEM school and a STEM competition was pretty cool and unique.

My favorite character was Caleb, and I enjoyed the moments with him and Evie because they had such a great relationship. They had so many heartwarming moments together, and I liked that they knew each other so well.

Also, even when Evie was really oblivious, she was still pretty endearing. Although, I did feel bad for Caleb a lot because Evie just didn't notice how she affected him.

Besides Caleb and Evie, none of the other characters were that likable or memorable. Leo was kind of meh because of how he was with Evie before he got to know her very well. I couldn't stand Evie's mom at all, and the things she said and did to her were awful.

I enjoyed that this story featured both Caleb and Evie's POVs because it made the story more interesting.

My biggest problem with this book was that it contained a lot of anti-Christian comments. I felt that these remarks were unnecessary to the story, and it made me dislike the characters.

As far as the audiobook format, I thought it worked well for this story. I enjoyed listening to Nick Mondelli and Elizabeth Cottle narrate.

Overall, I think this is a fun and unique young adult novel.
