I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Omg this book is such a page turner. I could not put it down, I finished it in 1 night. It’s a story I didn’t know I was missing. I have always loved characters like Data from Star Trek, who wanted to be more human and this has Aiden who seems more human than AI. This was the perfect blend of Sci and romance to me. I just love Aiden and Elena and my only complaint is I want more.

If you ever watched The Terminator and said, "Hey, what if there was kissing in this?", you're in luck!

Thank you Entangled Publishing and Netgalley for the e-galley!

One look at this cover and one perusal of the synopsis and I was sold. I usually have this list each month of books I need to read for tours etc but it all went to hell when this book hit my inbox. I can say that it lived up to my expectations because my expectations were HIGH. I knew I'd love it from the first chapter.

Aiden is an A.I, about to be terminated for his lack of obedience; they want to scrap the project and start over. But Aiden has other plans. He breaks out of the facility and nearly gets hit by a car driven by our female protagonist, Elena.

Elena just graduated high school and wants to be a mechanic (against all her family's wishes) On her way to get her car fixed, she runs into Aiden. Literally. A strange hot boy then basically kidnaps her and tells her to drive as far as possible. But his demeanor isn't one you'd expect from a hijacker. He doesn't want to hurt her and she knows it. Soon, they're on a high-speed chase to find out more about Project A.I.D.E.N and Elana's father's involvement in the project.

I'm a sucker for a good run-from-authorities-plot-line. That and we seriously need more books about hot robot boys. I may have to write one because this book has inspired me. This is a quick read full of non-stop action and two protags you can root for.

This was the surprise of 2022 IMO. I hope there's a book two because I'd probably riot if there wasn't.

3.5/5 STARS (rounded up)

This is a YA sci-fi contemporary romance. It reminded me a little of Ex Machina meets Westworld. It was a fun, quick read. Yes, it was completely predictable but it didn’t bother me. You can tell exactly was happens by looking at the cover.

I thought the ending was a little rushed but maybe that is because I wanted more 🙂. I would definitely read more books from Lindsey.

Thank you Entangled Teen for the DRC! 🦾🧬

I have no words. I love the writing style of this book. Aiden is the cutest. I don’t know what to say about this book. I love when authors use different POVs through the entire book. I would love to see what happens with aiden and Elena after the ending. I want more of them.

Thank you Netgalley and Entangled Publishing and Entangled Teen for allowing me to read and review this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Project A.I.D.E.N. is about an A.I. who has wondered about the outside world and has never been able to leave the AIR facility. When Aiden fails a test proving he is more human than robot, he learns he is going to be terminated for his failure and decides to make a break for it.

Elena is a high school graduate who dreams of being a mechanic and is having a hard time telling her father that she doesn't want to go to a high end college. When she leaves town to go visit her sister and fix her car, she hits Aiden as he tries to escape AIR and Elena's father (the person who decided to eliminate Aiden).

Aiden and Elena are now in a high speed chase to keep Aiden safe and to find out answers about Project A.I.D.E.N.

Lindsey Frydman has written a fast paced and entertaining ride of a story. I liked the adrenaline rush of Aiden and Elena trying to hide from the authorities and her father while also figuring out answers. The book is quick and to the point and makes you question what you would do if you were in Elena's shoes.

Of course there is a romance that builds between Elena and Aiden. It does have a slight Stockholm Syndrome in the beginning but as they both learn about each other it develops into something sweet.

4 stars

I was not prepared for how much I was going to love this book! I found myself rooting for Aiden and Elena straight away. Told from different POV’s it kept me on the edge of my seat from page 1. The adventure they went on together was absolutely incredible and show us how beautiful love can be despite the obstacles. Thank you so much Entangled Teen and NetGalley for this ARC. I can’t wait to read more from Lindsey.

The book was so, so enjoyable. Just loved it!

Full of adventure, emotions, romance, science fiction, and a touch of mystery.

The characters in of Aiden and Elena and wonderful and very believable.

Young adult readers you are going to want to read this one for sure.

Highly recommend.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher, Entangled Teen, for granting me an advance copy of this book in return for my honest opinion.

Overall this is a good book to get you invested into the story line and characters, and makes you want more. I hope there will be more books with this theme because you got me very interested.

A fast-paced sci-fi romance that is action packed and has you on the edge of your seat the entire time!

okay hold up ..this book did not just end did it ..ohh no am left hanging .To be honest am starting to feel like the author owes a nice bottle of wine but hey am just saying.loved the story ..much thanks to the author and her team...It ended too soon but i loved it

I loved this YA novel that perfectly blended science fiction with touching romance! Aiden is a compelling and insightful character that had me rooting for him from page one. There was a ton of action moving the story along and tension filled moments that had me on the edge of my seat. The story inspires you to think deeply on what it means to be human. This is the YA I want to read!

Thank you to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing, LLC for access to this arc.

I wanted to love this book, but it wasn't for me. By chapter 3 I could guess everything that happened for the rest of the book, and it ended up being correct. All the twists were really obvious. I just wish it would have had more surprises

Terminator but make it a love story.

*Spoiler Free Review*

This book was definitely a page turner. I could not put it down. I loved the futuristic setting. Great character and world building.

The adventure Aidan and Elena go on definitely kept me on my toes. It kept me wanting more. I still want more. I liked how each chapter was a different POV, it helped me understand Aiden and Elena more.

Aiden is a boy just trying to LIVE. Elena wants nothing more then to be a mechanic and live the life SHE wants. When their two world collide neither of them will ever be the same...

This was a quick, easy and fun read. I'm definitely looking forward to more books from Lindsey Frydman.

A terrific romance. Without giving too much away, the main male character is kind of perfect. The romance is swoony. Aiden and Elena are both likable characters. There was a little bit of a twist and a surprise in the story.
Enjoyed the book a lot. A great read.

Thanks to the publisher for the arc.

I loved the character Aiden. He was a character that was full of hopes and dreams. The chapters were from different characters POV which made it very interesting and you could feel and learn what the other characters were feeling and thinking. It was a very fast and easy read and made you feel all kinds of emotions.

At 1st when I started reading it I felt like it was kinda a retelling of the movie Bourne Identity. That quickly changed and the story took a whole different direction.

The character, Elena, I loved as she would never give up hope and was the backbone to Aiden’s story. She fought to the very end even if it meant she was going to loose someone she loved.

There was a lot of pieces of the story that was quite predictable and then some that made you keep guessing.

It was a very light hearted and lovable novel.
