The best books are the ones that surprise you, and that’s exactly what this was. The Temperature of Me and You is a unique blend of contemporary and science fiction with a great cast of characters and an adorable romance. I devoured it in just two sittings—a matter of hours—and would definitely recommend it!
The only reason I didn’t give it five stars was that I felt a few things weren’t explained as well as they could’ve been. I wanted to know more about how both Jordan and Dylan got their abilities, as well as HydroPro’s experiments.
(I’d originally written a longer review, but my app glitched and I lost it all. I don’t have the energy to rewrite it so here’s the mini version.)

Graphic: Fire/Fire injury
Moderate: Bullying and Homophobia
Minor: Death of parent
Both the bullying and homophobia are challenged. Love interest’s parents died in a fire prior to the story.
