RECAP AND REVIEW

Thank you to the author for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Out now! Happy release day! Available through KU.

This is a young adult romance book told from both Arlo and Jupiter’s perspective in the third person.

Arlo is confident while Jupiter is more reserved. They both try to keep their eyes on their individual prizes, but fate and the universe seem to have other plans for them.

This book is reminiscent to me of the show Forever on Netflix in the sense that they depict two young people going through it will they try to figure out what their relationship will be. Though in this book the main characters are college-aged, it brought about similar feelings of “why can’t you two figure it out 😩” (in a good way).

I enjoyed reading their story, and seeing them come to terms with their feelings. They had sweet and funny moments together and I felt the attraction between them. Even through the cringey moments and a fight (that was needed in my opinion), I was still rooting for them.

The side characters for both main characters have wise words and were funny and I liked them a lot.

Arlo and Jupiter just make sense together to me for reasons that get revealed and if I say more, I might say too much.

Overall, I give this a 5 out of 5 stars. There’s just something about the writing style and the story I love. It kept my attention and I found myself thinking about it when doing other things. This is one of my favorites that I’ve read this year.
