I liked this second chance between coworkers/friends Cord and Pearl. Cord is the ultimate sweetest guy to have in your corner. I get a little why Pearl kept him at arms length for so long but in a way I walked to share her and say "you KNOW Cord is different from all those other guys that did you wrong. Be with him!"

I really liked Cord and Tye's mentor/mentee relationship. Cord was such a great influence for Tye even though they were already a great kid. Cord just helped give them an ultimate boost to pursue their dreams.

I liked the many texts exchanges sprinkled throughout. I love the STEM rep. But,  I ALMOST had to throw my Kindle across the room because there was a lead in to a trope I absolutely HATE but it didn't actually go there but the hint of it was enough to make me tense up for a bit.
