I truly don’t know how to rate this book.
On one hand, I did truly love both of the main characters and I thought their relationship was very cute.
On the other hand, I don’t know how much of the plot held up. In what world would Celine be kicked of the Exploers? Because she was distracted by a legitimate life event? This work was very pro-capitalism, in the sense that you’re expected to put literally every aspect of your life behind work/professional obligations.
On the same coin, what did Brad to do deserve winning the scholarship? As much as we’re lectured about how nuanced the grading is, it does seem like it comes down to who found the most golden compasses.
Ultimately, I feel like Brad was rewarded and Celine was punished for a decision that HE ultimately made. Celine should not be blamed for his reaction to something she said.
