I had the most beautiful experience meeting Renn and Maven.

I read this book in a single day. It is a touching, small-town romance with a sci-fi theme. It covers a wide range of topics with such finese - traumatic experiences, loss of a parent, loneliness, friendships, and healing journey. I am in awe of Shandy's writing and how beautifully she wove the words. 

Renn is such a lovable character. He says things that will melt your heart. And Maven? My heart goes out for her. Her journey is so close to me personally that I cried reading about her. 

The sci-fi is not heavily infused in the story, and I like that a lot. It is just a theme, and the focus is entirely on the characters' journey.

Here are my reasons why you should read this:

♡ You like small town romances.
♡ You like strangers to lovers.
♡ You like raw, heart-wrenching stories.
♡ You like cinnamon roll MMC.
♡ You like minimal sci-fi theme.
