I would classify this as Young Adult. It’s a clean romance that moves along on miscommunication and lack of communication. The both mains are reluctant to trust each other with important information leading to more misunderstandings. They do come to love each other however it’s told by internal dialogue rather then see by the reader. The female main has a goal that she holds to regardless of what is standing in her way and it’s quite admirable and inspiring. He makes a commitment to himself and holds to it. They both have internal strength that I wish author would have focused more on then the miscommunication. You will get use to the narrator or you won’t it’s her style she has narrator many books for Tantor.
