This is how my review originally appeared on Goodreads, and because the author has since used it in promotions, I figured I should start this review with it. Do not read this book if you value your face. It made wet stuff leak from my eyes and melted my face off. The opposite gendered voices didn't come off as caricatures and the pacing (listening at 1.5 speed) was great. I listened to the audiobook version of this book, and the narration was excellent. With a push from her oldest friend, Allison embarks on a journey to find out if what she and Esben shared is the real thing-and if she can finally trust in herself, in others, and in love. When time is called, the intensity of the experience overwhelms Allison and Esben in a way that unnerves and electrifies them both. Neither she, nor Esben Baylor, the dreamy social media star seated opposite her, is prepared for the outcome. Suddenly, she finds herself in front of a crowd, forced to interact with a complete stranger for 180 seconds. One unsuspecting afternoon, Allison is roped into a social experiment just off campus. But as she begins her third year in college, she finds it increasingly difficult to disappear into the white noise pouring from her earbuds. Adopted at sixteen, she knows better than to believe in the permanence of anything. For Allison Dennis, all it takes is 180 seconds…Īfter a life spent bouncing from one foster home to the next, Allison is determined to keep others at arm’s length. Some people live their entire lives without changing their perspective.
