Airin and Hunter make a cute couple, and overall I did enjoy this story. The obsession with Mars seemed like an afterthought, and at times I skimmed those parts. I also didn't like how Hunter was manipulated by her mother to spy on her. Yes, he felt guilty (which he should ) but did it anyway. I enjoyed the story, and it was a quick read. Just felt it could have been a bit stronger in details and emotions. Would recommend.

3.5 stars

Science and space exploration buffs will love this story of a romance between two people as well as their passion for space exploration.

Airin has led the most sheltered life due to a lifelong illness and is trying to break free from the tight reigns her overprotective mother. Hunter is a man on a mission and Airin is proving to be a major distraction that he can't help. The core of this story is Airin and Hunter's gravitation to one another despite what's best and the plans years in the making. There is tons of information dealing with space exploration, NASA and Mars that was interesting but overloaded the story for me.

I love Abigail Strom's writing and unfortunately this one just didn't click with me but will not stop me from continuing to read her books.

I love Abigail Strom’s books. Her characters are well developed, and her stories ar unique. It is also very clear in Show Me that a great deal of research took place. I would highly recommend this book!
