I enjoyed seeing the bonds being built between these students as they navigate a new country, foreign language, and customs. Their friendships were typical, as some paired up. Farrah and Blake had a great friendship, and their relationship was sweet and romantic. I loved how confident Farrah is and how she never hesitated to build up Blake's pride when it took a hit from his family. Blake was so in love with Farrah. She truly brought out the best in him, and he was such a great guy until he wasn't. Now, I understand Blake made a mistake. However I also can't believe he'd get himself in that much trouble. I mean, whiskey d*ck is a thing, so... Cindy Kay and Aiden Snow do a great job narrating. I love the emotion Cindy brings to Farrah's character.

If We Ever Meet Again (If Love, Book 1) is the first book in this duet series and ends with a cliffy. The synopsis drew my eyes to want to listen to this audio. A new adult romance taking place in Shanghai, China where two people who are not looking for love find it with each other. I love the vivid descriptions & details of the settings and how they play into the story. A spoonful of angst and a gradual romance beginning with friends and a whole lot of witty banter. The supporting characters assist in bringing the world to reality. Narrators Cindy Kay and Aiden Snow vocalized the character's thoughts and brought there romance to reality. Aiden Snow's deep tone and Cindy's confidence eloquently coming through her tone. Both inflections are easy to listen to.

Ok so what I loved about this book? The scenery, the food and just everything about Shanghai. I don’t know if it’s just a me thing, but I did not connect with these characters at all. I could not feel the love between them. The friend group was also a lot to keep up with in addition to the MCs. And the hero? Officially my least favorite hero to date. I will not be reading the second book because I just don’t think these two should be together. Farrah girl, you deserve better.

Love her stories. A bit predictable but can’t wait to listen the 2nd book

Loved the first book and anxious to read the next two!

I purchased this book because Aiden Snow was a narrator, but I didn't enjoy the story. But if you enjoy reading stories about spoiled rich kids, then be my guest.
