Mnevermind #1-3

Remember Tomorrow

Rate this book
When artificial memories are everywhere, how can you tell what’s real?

Daniel was a hotshot memorysmith, a major innovator in the field of recreational memories—until his father, Big Dan, suffered a freak persistent memory that sent their business into a tailspin. Now Daniel labors behind the scenes, seeking only to cure the persistent false memory and salvage their failing shop.

Elijah is the most talented mind in the memory industry, but because that mind is far from neurotypical, his potential is wasted teaching beginners at the mall. When his cobbled-together gear projects him into one of Daniel’s memory programs, a colorful but challenging relationship sparks to life.

The two men are an unlikely pair, but they have so much in common. Each is fiercely driven. Each is stunningly creative. And when Daniel and Elijah finally connect, each one realizes just how desperately he’s been searching for someone who truly understands him.

Most of all, they’re utterly committed to curing the persistent false memory. Daniel finally gives up his workaholic smokescreen. Elijah fends off the advice of everyone he trusts and joins forces with Daniel. Even Big Dan says he’s on board with their plan…but will he remember tomorrow?

This collection contains the novels The Persistence of Memory, Forget Me Not, and Life is Awesome.

What a treat to revisit this series in audio. Beautifully performed by Seth Clayton, he does great voices for the characters and adds a nice depth to the story. Definitely worth listening to whether this is your first time with this series or you're enjoying it for the first time.

thank you to the publisher for an ARC of the audio version of the Mnevermind series

First, there is so many storylines in this series the main is a young man with Autism who is gay and trying to coup with this in a way it is easy for him and still not understanding the who, what were he fits in. To be honest it a love story that is so touching you become part of the story. Daniel who he meets does not know much about Autism till he research it online. You get to see how they both need to learn each other with Daniel not sure what he can do or not and Elijah trying to learn both Daniel as a man, his growing feelings and the ability to communicate and finally be able to understand each other.
There is so many other storielines you are kept busy in a way that each storyline is interwoven into the perfect love story, a story of forgiveness, acceptance and the ability to grow so you and the ones you love can grow and get better each and everyday.
The author did an awesome job creating the story because many people who are handicapped never get to dream, to live and many find love because we see a handicap person and judge them by non handicapped standards which does not work and we are wrong to judge them. Also the author choose the best narrator for this story he brought it alive to the point a listener could feel the sorry, see the colors, smells and happiness. Finally brings Elijah alive were you see he not handicapped but young man who wants to love and be loved no strings attached

Series/Standalone: This is the complete Mnevermind Trilogy of novellas in one book

Genre/Sub-Genre: Science Fiction/Romance

Book Format: eAudiobook

Length: 19 hours

LGBTQ+ Orientation: Gay

HEA/HFN: Yes

Content Warnings: Ableism, fat-shaming, homophobia, and harassment.

Ratio of Sex/Plot: Heavy on the plot

Well-Written/Editor Needed: Very well written

Would I Re-Read?: This is my second read of this trilogy!

Personal Thoughts: Reading this a second time, I was able to really look into the subtle details of this world-building and the story within it, and my perspective has shifted. Where I initially liked it just fine, I now see what makes this a truly outstanding book. What I appreciate here is how realistic it is, meaning, if Mnemography was real, I think Jordan has given us a pretty realistic view of how it would fit into our current society in the United States. The technology is believable without overloading on terminology and information that would confuse or bore the reader. I've also not seen anything like this in fiction yet so major kudos for a unique idea. With the memory tech, you'll be unsure what's going on at times, whether you're in mnem or reality, so you'll stay on your toes for this one!

All of the characters stand apart from the group and were entertaining to read about from aging Aunt Pipsie to goofy Larry, and even Big Dan who can't remember he divorced his wife five years ago. I rooted hard for the small business of Adventure Tech to survive and have their chance to finally make it big. The one major downside are the side characters who are less than pleasant to Elijah, going so far as to harass him for being gay. Their plot lines are never resolved so we don't get any sort of justice, and I really wish we had.

Elijah is on the Autism spectrum and I thought this was handled really well. His relationship with Daniel is realistically awkward, including the sex scenes, as he works to navigate in a neurotypical world he doesn't always understand. Daniel accepts him as he is right from the start even going so far as to research Autism so that he can understand Elijah better. The three novellas are told in first person, alternating between Daniel and Elijah's points of view. I think seeing both viewpoints helps to understand exactly what each character is going through and what they're feeling. It also lends more authenticity to Elijah's character.

The ending is realistic as everything comes together in a satisfying way, even if it wasn't what I'd been hoping for. If you like audiobooks, I loved the narrator for this one. He does all the voices spot on and was a joy to listen to.

This review is also posted on my blog.

I never read these books separately while they were being released, so this review is going to be about all three novels that make up this collection. As a whole, I really liked the characters and I found the story intriguing and kept me hooked. The story is heart-wrenching and makes you feel like you want to wrap these characters in a soft blanket and give them hot chocolate.

However, I wasn't a big fan of the ending. It seemed more like an afterthought cobbled together to give a resolution. It's pretty disjointed from the rest of the story and feels incredibly rushed. Does the ending ruin the books for me? I would say, no. But, it does leave a lot to be desired.

I probably missed a few things since I listened to this on audio as opposed to reading this as text, but trigger warnings for this book include ableism, fat-shaming, homomisa, and harassment.

The first story, The Persistence of Memory, is told from Daniel Schroeder's POV. Daniel is 45, owns and works at a store he opened with his father, works nights at a rival corporation, and lives with his father. Daniel's store - AdventureTech is a small company that specializes in providing fabricated memories to buyers. The customers are put into a sort of dream state for a few hours doing whatever their heart desires (within the limits of these mnems) and while they won't be able to remember the exact details of their dream, it'll leave the customer feeling happy and satisfied. Like dreams, these fabricated dreams, too, should fade. Otherwise, it would be a havoc among society for people believing the things they've dreamed up were real.

Daniel is smart. He has the ability and the talent to construct the mnems, the program for which these dreams run. However, when one of his programs - Life is Awesome - winds up accidentally altering his father's memories into a "persisted" memory, Daniel keeps his head down and no longer builds his own mnems.

Daniel's father, Big Dan, believes that his wife never left him and that they're still together. And this leaves Daniel breaking the news to his dad every single day that the reality his father thinks he knows is not real. It's absolutely heart-breaking to see the anguish Daniel has to go through every day, breaking both his father's heart and his.

While Daniel struggles to keep his store open, he happens across a man dressed in black who keeps appearing in his mnems. It shouldn't be possible, and yet, this man manages to follow him anywhere in his mnems. We eventually learn that this man's name is Elijah Crowe, and he actually winds up being my favorite character from this series.

The novels were originally published in 2012, 2014, and 2015, so while I understand that there might be some...problematic things in them, I would have expected some editing in the bind-up and re-released audiobook edition and for the more offensive things said in this book to be removed? And I suppose that's really my main issue with JCP's books - super interesting characters and story, but there's also some really unnecessary problematic content that tends to drag the book down. One especially is that there is ONE POC character in this book (that I can tell, at least) and it's your stereotypical sassy-black-woman-who-works-as-an-assistant-to-the-white-male-main-character. Daniel treats her well, but it would be nice to have a non-white character in JCP's books who isn't a stereotype? Is that too much to ask?

The first and third books are told from Daniel's perspective, and the second book is told from Elijah's perspective. Daniel is flawed. His point-of-view is blunt and he comes across as being a judgmental person. Elijah is autistic. It's constantly mentioned that Elijah isn't "normal" and that Elijah is "weird". And that's coming from Daniel and that doesn't sit well with me at all. There are instances towards other characters that make me uncomfortable as well. There's fat-shaming other characters, making fun of a perfectly harmless character (Larry), and calling some characters the "r" word. These are particularly uncomfortable to read from Daniel's POV when it shows that he has the hots for Elijah while they're in mnem, but not so much in the real world after he meets Elijah.

Elijah is a precious cinnamon roll who is highly intelligent and does his best, even when the world tries beating him down for being autistic. He's an expert when it comes to memories and teaches about mnems at the mall. However, there are people in his life who treat him like he's not smart or harass him for being himself. Elijah is blunt and says what he means, and takes everything at face value. His book is probably one of the most difficult to read, because the world keeps trying to demean him and he just wants live his life. Even his therapist is awful and refuses to believe him when he wants to make a complaint against one of his co-workers. It just breaks my heart. ELIJAH IS SO PRECIOUS AND AN ABSOLUTE SWEETHEART. <3

The sex scenes in this series are a little...different than your usual m/m romance book? Elijah has never been with a man before Daniel, so they take things slow. BUT. That doesn't mean their scenes together in bed aren't scorching hot. I think I prefer reading sex scenes like what happened in this series. It seems more grounded in reality this way.

Seth Clayton's narration is fantastic and I liked the voices used for all the characters. There's special effects added for the book transitions that scared me half to death while listening to the audiobook in the middle of the night with my headphones in. They're brilliant, but they will never NOT scare me on re-listens.

My one issue with the narration is that it seems really slowed down compared to other audiobooks I've listened to? The easy fix is to speed it up on the audiobook app, but the narration is oddly slow. With new books with more complex storylines, I tend to listen at about 1.5x speed. But, for this book I winded up listening to the book at 2x. It's no big deal, really, and I look forward to seeing what other books he's narrated!

This audiobook is a long one and absolutely worth a credit. I feel like this story felt like the movie Inception. This story is pretty trippy and sometimes you don't know if you're in a dream or settled back in reality. This is an enjoyable series, overall, and I would recommend this book to m/m romance readers who like a slice of sci-fi in your books.

My rating for each separate book in the series:

Book #1, The Persistence of Memory: 4 stars
Book #2, Forget Me Not: 5 stars
Book #3, Life is Awesome: 3 stars

This is an intriguing series by the author of one of my favorite MM romance series, PsyCops. This series features the slowest of the slow burn romances. If I recall correctly, there is zero spice between the MCs in the first book. There's a lot for me to love... mature MCs, humor, a likable father who has a good relationship with their adult child, and vivid world-building without boring me with unnecessary detail. The more time I spent with these characters, the more I liked them. If you're a sci-fan who reads MM romance, you'll probably love this. Seth Clayton does an excellent job of narrating the Audible version. 3.5 stars

A 4+. Enjoyable, well-written, with a contemporary feel but based on technology that we definitely don't have irl. I got this because I'm trying a few books by JCP to see if I like them as much as I do the PsyCop series (no, I do not, but not because they're bad, but because PsyCop is awesome). I'm glad I got all three books in one volume, because they read as three parts of one book, and don't really have separate beginnings and endings.
Also, I was very pleasantly surprised to discover that one of the MCs is autistic/aspie, and that this is done exceptionally well, and that book two is actually from his POV (they're all first-person narration), and everything rang completely and utterly true. Well done, Ms Castillo Price!

The romance is brilliant, and lovely, and quirky and mundane, and very enjoyable -- despite their neuropsychiatric differences, Daniel and Elijah just fit>. They have to learn how to navigate around each other, but Daniel does this in the best way possible -- by reading up on autism and accepting and liking Elijah as he is, quirks and all, not trying to change him or "help" him, but just treating him as another person.
The plot is kind of slow and not particularly exciting. It's more a journey of self-discovery (or perhaps rediscovery), about keeping your spirits up and finding your way to the things that you love, whether they are old or new. Daniel is struggling to make ends meet running his own mnemography business, in a market dominated by cutthroat competition backed up by lots of money, but despite being a talented memorysmith (a programmer/author of mnemes), he's lost his nerve after an accident when one of his mnemes gave his father a persistent false memory, and he's running on fumes and momentum. The moment he sees Elijah in one of the cheap mnemes his company runs now, which shouldn't be possible, things start happening to push him out of his rut.

Elijah is smart, clever, cute and undeniably neurodivergent. He, too, is stuck in a routine, partially of his own making, because they make him feel safe, but also because he's never had reason to push himself beyond them before. He's heavily reliant on his ex-wife to handle the complexities of everyday life, and has no idea that he could be attracted to another man until he shows up in the mneme that Daniel is running, and Daniel (not realising that Elijah is in fact a real person), just smoothtalks him and kisses him. This may sound unrealistic to some readers, but believe me when I say it's not unrealistic to a neurodiverse person.

The secondary characters were great, too, especially Larry, who starts out as Daniel's annoying self-satisfied coworker at his evening job, but ends up being a lot more than that and a valued member of Daniel's team.

There were a couple of loose ends that I felt were kind of unfired Chekhov's guns.
SPOILER WARNING!
One was the way that Elijah managed to project himself wirelessly into other people's mneme sessions (not to interfere -- they don't know he's there, and he can't affect the experience, but it's definitely kind of weird and invasive) but it ends up just being the narrative device that gets him into Daniel's life, and not much more is said about it. The other is the therapist he's seeing who, it turns out, wilfully (?) misunderstands his call for help about homophobic bullying from a coworker, and is very suspicious about Elijah's gay awakening, and I spent the rest of the book worrying when that shoe would drop, except it never did. The book just didn't mention her again, and it was never resolved.

I would have liked the science-fictional elements of the story to have been more pervasive, and not just feel like that particular piece of technology was the only thing that kept the story from being a completely contemporary romance. But it was an interesting concept, and well executed.

I am a huge fan of Jordan Castillo Price's Psycop series. Like, it's one of my all-time favorite book series of all time. But, for whatever reason, I've read literally nothing else that she's written. I can't really explain why. And, since this one was categorized as sci-fi I hadn't really been very interested in it. Not sure what made me change my mind but I'm so glad I did. First of all, I can't really say this is sci-fi. I tried looking up to see if urban sci-fi is a thing like urban fantasy but there didn't seem to be any real information. But, when I think of sci-fi I personally think of books based in space and such. Not one based in our world with just a new technology... just like urban fantasy. Anyway, who cares how it's categorized right? It's the book(s) that matter.

I was totally engrossed in these books. This was an audio recording of the 3 books in the Mnevermind series. The narration was great. I think it might have been the same narrator from Psycop but I'm not sure. Not enough that I got voices mixed up with ones from that series and that's a good thing. I've listened to narrators who read from different book series before that use similar voices in all of them and it's very disconcerting.

The concept of mnemes is especially interesting to me at the moment because I've actually been doing a little research myself into brain waves and such in relation to sleep. And I found the relation to autism very interesting. I liked the term neuro-typical used in the books. I almost wish it would have been expounded upon with other mental differences but I suppose that wasn't the point of the books. I don't think I've ever read a book with an autistic main character.

The second book of the series is written from Elijah's point-of-view which made it pretty cool to see his view of the world as well as his relationship with Daniel. But, I'll admit I was happy when the third book returned to Daniel's point-of-view. Something about the way he saw Elijah was just so raw. Maybe that's why I like Psycop so much? It's so real and messy and vulnerable. Nothing's perfect and wonderful. The descriptions of their not-so-great kissing and such and how much Daniel loved it was just more real to me than other books that make everything seem perfect. There's a vulnerable edge to their relationship that makes you want to cheer for them with every interaction. I highly recommend these books and the audio version in particular.

Just finished the trilogy (Mnevermind #1-3) Remember Tomorrow and am left with a sense of satisfaction with the ending of the trilogy. The final mental picture of the characters in the story was more than an HEA. Combining current societal elements with fantastical technology made Castillo's world believable, and her people very real. Additional elements that made the story interesting and relevant was the inclusion of an autistic character, Elijah. I was fascinated by the work arounds Elijah had to use in order to function "normally", and how his neutral affect impacted the people around him, especially the other main character, Daniel. Elijah took what people said literally which led to confustion and frustration. Castillo developed Elijah's character to a higher level of functioning as he thought through the words and behaviors of the people around him. Fascinating to be on that mental journey! Daniel was in the midst of family and financial problems when he met Elijah. Daniel was deeply interested in Elijah, but wasn't sure he could live with Elijah's atypical neurology. Castillo developed Daniel's character through believable events that led to understanding himself and the people most important to him. This story felt well rounded, and with the exception of knowing the techology Castillo wove the story around doesn't exist today, I feel like I learned some things about life difficulties and resilience from Elijah and Daniel's story.
For those of you who decide to read the trilogy know that the beginning of the story, the scaffolding that ultimately supported the entire novel, was a mite difficult to understand. At least it was for me. But the disparate pieces came together in reasonable time and once built, the world and situational issues became compelling to listen to.

'Remember Tomorrow' (Mnevermind: Books 1-3),
(on Audible) written by Jordan Castillo Price, narrated by Seth Clayton

This is my first venture into the 'Mnevermind' series, although I'm a huge fan of JCP's 'PsyCop' series.

I'm really enjoying this whole sci-fi/mind control "meme" storyline; it gives one a lot to think about. I mean, for real, mind control practices have been around for ages and in several cultures over many years, as it seems like various governments have always tried to gain the "upper hand" on figuring out what their enemies or their prey are planning, and how they can use occurances like "remote viewing" etc to their own advantage.

Anyway, one thing I'm thinking is that Daniel (the son), is failing to take into consideration is Elijah's young age (was it 18?) and lack of sexual experience. He needs to BTFO and not rush Elijah and overwhelm the newbie, to let Elijah have the time & space to get used to his first sexual experiences and not act like a predatory creeper by pushing him too fast and too hard! Jeez-a-loo! Give the kid some adjustment room, both physically, emotionally, and mentally! Wtf is wrong with you pushing him so hard? Just because you haven't dipped your wick in a while is no reason to basically almost bully him into getting you off! And yeah, he got off too, but you scared him in the process! Why do you think he left in a hurry right afterwards? He needed time to process all that!

Oh, and by the way, Daniel, Elijah isn't sick, nor mentally ill, nor stupid...he's autistic. Go do a bunch of research on autism before you screw things up with him! I'd wager he's genius-level in figuring out how things work, but is having difficulty in the areas of communicating and relating to people in real life, since it's apparently easier for him to work through a buffer like a computer or a meme program. I know people like that, so give him a chance and slow your roll so he can adjust to interacting with you.
(climbing down off soap-box now)

Okey-dokey, I wrote the above comment before I'd actually finished reading the trilogy (um...I think I wasn't even half-way through yet).
So, I'm happy to discover that Daniel started learning how to communicate in more satisfying ways with Elijah, for both of their benefits.

Loved the way they're figuring out how to work together, not only during the actual tech work and all, but in finding out how to be friends and lovers together; it's a learning curve for both of them as Elijah is autistic and Daniel is often impatient, not just with Elijah but in trying to figure out the programming, and what possibilities were happening in the moment when a part of Big Dan's (his dad) meme trip went into persistent memory, instead of temporary like it should have. And Big Dan thinking it all was real, even after he woke up from the meme trip.

This whole trilogy is so freakin' awesome and I'm in awe of the author for the way her mind works in figuring out this whole complex scenario! Wowza!

One of the best series I've read in a while, although the 'PsyCop' series is still my all-time fave!
Shhh...I have a secret crush on Crash! ;-)

Anyway just wanted to reiterate how much I liked this series, partly because of the in-depth character development, which I appreciated, and partly because of the intriguing subject matter which is definitely in my wheelhouse of interest and really well thought out.

Do yourself a great big favor and grab the book... better yet, the Audible audio package with all 3 books included, plus a wonderful narrator...and go park yourself somewhere comfortable with food & drink, and have a go at it!
(you're welcome)

(better yet, thank the authorJCP for her incredible imagination and wicked good writing skills)

Two thumbs up! 👍👍

4 1/2
The first and third are in Daniels POV and the 2nd part is in Elijah's POV. I think I liked Elijah's the best as it gave an understanding of who he is. Still the overall story is great.

Daniel is living a sort of half life. His dad has a persistent false memory caused by Mneming in a piece of software that Daniel created. So Daniel blames himself and every day he has to tell his dad that his memory is false and try to get him to remember and think of the other things that have happened over the last year. This convinces him with proof of all the situation around him but it comes at a cost in anger and fights. Daniel starts to see another person while controlling other people's mnemes. Mnemes seem to be a pleasurable memory that the pleasure sticks but the memories disappear. Someone is hacking in to his Mneme shop, or is it a persistent memory for him or a mneme itself. All of this while trying to keep his mneme shop afloat by having a secondary job cleaning machines at another big business mneme company.

Elijah is a high functioning person with Asperger's. He tests code and equipment for mneming. He has figured out a way to piggyback close by on AM signals into other's mnemes. In the mneme he is almost normal in reason and thought patterns.

So glad I finally finished this series! I read book 1 a million years ago and then just never got to the other books.

For me, books 1 and 2 were 4 stars, but I really enjoyed the way it all wrapped up, so for me the whole series is a 5.

Book 3 is a definite roller coaster!! And I had no idea how things were ultimately going to turn out until we were basically right on top of it. It really didn't go quite as I'd anticipated, but I have no problem with that because I like how it went! I basically, like...gently cried through the last fifteen minutes. It was perfect!

I realized today (after finishing yesterday) that there was one thing that we never had any closure on—book 3 is entirely Daniel, and it was an Elijah thing from book 2, so I guess that makes sense... But I wish it had come up so we knew how things stood. Ah well. Sometimes that's how it goes!

Very enjoyable listening experience. I like the reader (Seth Clayton) a lot and am definitely going to check if he has anything else I'd like to read. Kinda strange to have an American reader after listening to so many British books lately, but he was great.

Sad it's over!! Fun world and characters and story. :)

I had started reading the ebook version of this but when I saw that the author had packaged the trilogy into 1 audiobook, I jumped at the chance. 20+ hours of listening goodness. Seth Clayton is superlative (one of Elijah's favourite words) and his portrayal of Elijah, a man on the autism spectrum, was nothing less than brilliant. Every character was distinct and recognisable.

As for the story? I thought that was wonderful too. The three books are basically one big story arc, so I wouldn't recommend reading them out of order. The first book is narrated by Daniel and has more of a mystery romance. The second book is narrated by Elijah (and my heart melted into the floor for this one) and the third is back to Daniel where things come to a boil. The ending was nothing how I imagined it might turn out but it was a satisfying ending nevertheless.

Only 1 gripe. That asshole at Elijah's work didn't get a comeuppance!

Ah. This is one of those rare gems that have such a unique setting ("memory forging" or the business with fake memories, that fade after a day), that sets this story apart from so many others. Loved it! Also Elijahs autism was described/shown very well.
Also: the audiobook is very well narrated. Enjoyed the days I listened to it!

I kinda wished for more stories inside the fake-memory "world", even though there were many already in the book series. Haha. And I hoped for Elijah to stay a mystery for a bit longer. The reveal came a bit too soon for my (just my opinion). I loved how mysterious he was, just showing up in the "mnemes" (fake memories) that Daniel went through with his clients.

And the fakt that Elijah dresses like his exwife made him dress, is kinda sad, IMHO. :-/ (also just a personal thing that made me think: "the poor guy"..)

This was really great and completely unique. I loved the idea mnemes(which is how I’m assuming it’s spelled since I listened to this one), and although I found it a little confusing in the beginning, I was quickly hooked. Elijah is amazing, and to me (a neurotypical person), it seemed like the autism rep was well done. Daniel took a little while longer for me to warm up to, but he eventually got there. I do wish 2/3 were from Elijahs POV though, not the other way around.

My major complaints though are the use of the r-word Which I’m not sure when these came out originally, but definitely could’ve been removed with the bundle. And the fact that the asshats in Elijahs life just dropped off instead of there being any sort of resolution

Castillo Price has produced another brilliant sci-fi series and it was easy to read all three books in a row. Not only does she create unique worlds, she always creates characters with great humanity. Daniel owns an mnemography business which allows clients to choose a fantasy memory experience. Daniel wades into each fantasy to help the client exit and one day he sees Elijah, a dark handsome stranger, who shouldn’t be in the mneme. The books explore Daniel and Elijah’s nascent relationship, the struggles with Daniel’s business, the malfunction that has left Daniel’s father with a persistent mneme, and Elijah’s autism. They are a beautiful set of stories.

Jordan Castillo Price is hit or miss for me. I dropped PsyCop after the 5th book and that says a lot. I don't drop. Series/book have to be really bad for me to decide to leave it unfinished.
I have been caring Mnevermind - Remember Tomorrow (audio) with me since August (8 months now). Started it 3-4 times and switch to different book after 5 min. This time i didn't... And i didn't put it down until the end which was 2:20 after midnight on a work day.
Perfect and everything I needed it's all I can say.
Seth Clayton is a relatively new voice for me but he made that book memorable and is going in my favorites list.
Big thanks to both of them!

Since I'm a fan of Jordan Castillo Price's PsyCop series, I decided to buy the trilogy rather than buy them one at a time. I loved the first book. Daniel is my favorite kind of jaded cynic because he's hilarious but still has his own goals and motivations. The second book didn't quite make sense narratively to me. Based on my reading, it seems that Elijah's main problem is the lack of support he gets for his homosexuality and his relationship with Daniel from this in life, in particular his therapist and workplace bully, and these don't get resolved in book 2. Book 3 was okay. It has some interesting thoughts on happiness and .

I absolutely loved Seth Clayton's performance in this trilogy!
Jordan Castillo Price wrote a great story. As with any science fiction, though, it is hard to keep up with the future. It may have totally been intentional, but I found the constant references to landline telephones with answering machines to be distracting - but that's mostly because I'm of that era, so it makes me nostalgic instead of future focused. The story was otherwise great and I listened from beginning to end with full attention. I love the characters and the easy "read," especially when read to me. A long recording of over 18hrs is not something I frequently take on, but this story was well worth it!

I Just Feel Better.
The idea of using technology to have otherwise unavailable experiences in an alternate reality is not new. The way it is used in this story is unique and provides an entrancing background setting for a romance between a neurotypical and neurodivergent person.
A heavy dose of personal guilt is spun with some dysfunctional family dynamics to provide the connecting threads. A little bit of corporate espionage adds texture.
If you like slow burn romance, people that frequently get in their own way and others that can't help but say exactly what they mean, you'll enjoy this.
If you prefer predictable events leading to a HEA ending, pass. I'm quite glad that I didn't.

Overall 3.5 stars
Audiobook was 5 stars

It took me a LONG time to get into this book, I was confused. I never usually do sci fi romance books so maybe that contributed to my confusion. It's hard I think in audio too to orient yourself because we have fake worlds in real worlds and I didn't know which was up.... but I have it a shot and eventually became invested in these people. I wish some storylines were wrapped up and things aren't satisfying regarding who are the antagonists which is frustrating but that's life. It is romance-lite, meaning yes, it IS a romance but I feel like that took a backseat to the plot as a whole

So interesting, characters and story. I think she's gotten smoother with her characters since this (earlier ones are sometimes boorish), better at describing differences kindly, so I can see this work not landing well with everyone, but I'm glad I stuck with it, all the stories/characters resolved satisfyingly by the end.

3.5 as I had a hard time coming to grips with what was going on. I loved the MCs. I so loved Larry, he needs someone. I think my issues was all the technology, it was so over my head I had a hard time understanding what they were talking about.

Absolutely loved this one. Loved the neurodivergent representation and the scifi leanings. Story was always engaging, characters growing and evolving. Just wonderful.

This was really good. I've had it on my tbr forever. Glad I picked it. I have an autistic child, and I felt like the representation was really well done and handled with respect. Excellent narrator.

This trilogy was me stepping out of my comfort zone. I would have liked a little bit more focus to be on the romance, this felt like a sci-fi with a side romance plot instead of a scifi romance
