About this listen
Best friends with secret crushes - on each other!
Connor and Maya have volunteered at the neighborhood library together since middle school, but when a grant makes a paid summer position available, their relationship crumbles as they compete to prove which of them is more worthy of the job.
The third YA novel from award-winning, best-selling author Cecily Wolfe looks at friendship under pressure, with humor, drama, and misunderstandings that ultimately don't stand a chance against true love.

It has been 20 years since the end of the war. The dictatorial Augurs, once thought of almost as gods, were overthrown and wiped out during the conflict, their much-feared powers mysteriously failing them. Those who had ruled under them, men and women with a lesser ability known as the Gift, avoided the Augurs' fate only by submitting themselves to the rebellion's Four Tenets.

Knowledge is power. That would be the motto of Lander University, had it not been snatched up and used to death by others long before the school was founded. For while Lander offers a full range of courses to nearly all students, it also offers a small number of specialty classes to a very select few. Lander is home to the Hero Certification Program, a curriculum designed to develop students with superhuman capabilities, commonly known as Supers, into official Heroes.

Jason and Kaylee really ended up getting the short end of the stick in this book too and I will say I got kinda of bored with the repetitious "Oh no I like you, but I set you up with X! Now what ever can I do? I can't tell you that I like you!" over and over and over again that came into play surrounding the addition of the aforementioned characters. Both Connor and Maya were ignoring Jason and Kaylee or otherwise using them as pawns in their dispute. I also felt that this was an un-necessary element that was added in because neither Jason or Kaylee really represented a threat to Maya & Connors relationship (as is evidenced by the ending and their helping throughout). Things that could have been further explored are what a college relationship would mean, or negotiating different working schedules when they had previously been used to working with one another all the time. That would have, in my opinion, made for stronger content.
In short, it had a lot of potential to be greatness as the bones of a great story where there but it got lost in repetition of the same things and talking points and fails to utilize more impactful dramatic themes.
Also, as a note the narration in this by the end had me wanting to tear my hair out. The narrators diction is not for me and if I hear the word library pronounced "lie-berry" one more time I think I will have an aneurism!

In all honesty, I have no clue why I didn’t just stop listening. There were so many issues. The story did nothing for me. It was like listening to the weather. Wait… depending on the location, I think I would have found that more interesting than this story. I’m sorry to the author, no matter how many 5-star reviews she has, this was a poorly written story, in my opinion.
The fact the story is all about two characters fighting over who’s going to get the summer library job, then not revealing who the winner was by the end of the story? Really?
I found it … interesting? I don’t know if that’s the right word. The fact that Mia and Connor are fighting over a paying job at the library that they’d only just found out about, Mia acting like she’d been trying for it for a long time, well it just didn’t work for me. I mean, why had she been volunteering at the library for so long when she knew she’d need money for college at the end of senior year? Why would she think Connor was trying to trick/manipulate her by kissing her, giving her an ice cream sandwich so he could have the job? No …. I get they were kids, but they were almost adults, not middle-schoolers. Had they only just met/became friends? Did she not know him at all? If Conner didn’t support her in getting the job than Connor wasn’t the right type of friend for her? Really, Mia?
Then with the ending, they makeup and, all of a sudden, a horse appears and they’re riding off into the sunset. Are you serious? Any “romance” that the author wanted the reader to hear or feel or some other emotion between the main characters wasn’t there. I never felt either character loved the other. If I had to choose one, I’d say Connor had more lovey-dovey feelings toward Mia than her to him. On that note, I just didn’t like Mia. She was a selfish, uninteresting character. Although Connor wasn’t that better.
Moving on … I didn’t like the narrator at all. I’m sorry, but she makes me wonder how some people think they can become narrators, to begin with. While she had an upbeat voice, that was it. This is the second story, almost in a row, where the narrator pronounced “library” as “libarry” and forgetting the first “r” in “librarian.” Come on, narrator! It’s libRary. I swear every time she said “libarry,” I wanted to scream. There were several words I picked up on that were mispronounced. For example, “Vitally” was pronounced as “Vially” and “Gravelly” was pronounced as “Grave-ly.” And what was with adding emphasis to like every other word? Was that how it was written? I doubt it. Adding emphasis to the “t’s” in “important” or “importantly.” It didn’t work for me. She spoke way too fast for my liking; I tried to slow the book down, but that didn’t work. With her speed-talking, there were so many times when she’d be zooming through the words then suddenly slow down as though she lost her place, was going to say a different word (realized she didn’t know the next word), or I have no clue why. That meant there were no pauses between scene breaks/new character POV, so that didn’t help either. It was really annoying. There was no differentiation between the characters’ voices, so oftentimes, I had no clue who was talking. Even when a character was angry or spoke quietly, it’s like the narrator didn’t care and just continued in her super-fast voice. Did she get paid more if she was able to finish the narration in a shorter time? Lastly, there were a few times when the narration, a specific line, was repeated.
Questions/Comments:
I can only imagine the mistakes (grammar-related) that I would have found had I read the book. I mean the narrator spoke so fast, it was hard to confirm that there weren’t more mistakes than what I was hearing. For example, Connor, his date, and Jason are sitting in the cafeteria and Mia comes in “nodding as she avoidING looking at them again.” Or “Her arm under his fingers were less tense then it has [HAD] been.” Or when Mia was wondering about the birds. “Did the birds have a leader telling them where they should be and where they should be heading?” Isn’t that saying the same thing? Or there when Mia and Connor shook hands in a peace offering. Per Mia’s POV: “He acted as though he didn’t want to let go. He didn’t.” How would she have known he really didn’t want to let go? It’s written (or sounds to me) like that last part was Connor’s POV.
I requested another audiobook by this author and I’m very hesitant about listening to it. Wish me luck!

The story itself is well developed. The growth of our young cast struggling with the thought of a best friend as more was amazingly captured. The doubt that crept into their mind, the strain of being pitted against each other for a job and the conflict of double dating was easily visualized.
