My rating: 4 of 5 stars
In Between the Earth and Sky
What happens when an irresistible force meets an immovable object?
Remington Rohan was not a rule follower.
Former model (though not one of the “super” kind), successful influencer and life coach. Currently paid to tell people how to achieve the best from their lives and careers. In other words, a complete contradiction to how he preferred to live—namely, on his own terms and without input from others.
Everything about his life was going according to plan.
Until he started spending way too much time with a woman who defied his prejudices and challenged his beliefs.
Lydia Larkin was not a genius.
Gifted, clever, and stubborn. Raised on star maps and Hendrix, she was born an explorer. Temporarily tied down to a private sector science job, she knew she was biding her time before she was off to discover and build something new.
Not one to let society tell her who she was, she wasn’t about to let a professional influencer tell her she had to change to be happy.
Buckle up and brace for impact.

so I've read all of Heidi's work and loved them all, but this one was different. There was something so completely different about the way this was written. This is going to sound so weird when I say this, but it almost felt too smart for me at times. There was so much in this book that I just felt was outside the realm of what my head could handle. It was almost the idealisms and some of the psychology of how these two thought was too much for me. And yes, okay, maybe even what they actually do at the Institute was hard to wrap my brain around
This book also moved a bit slower than Heidi's other work. There was a lot more build up between these two characters. For me, for my taste, it hit a plateau of sorts in the middle and the speed in which I devoured the book slowed. My interest waned a little. And this is a book in which you have to pay attention, Remington and his little flower demand it.
I'm also not sure I one hundred percent understand the relationship between these characters or our secondary ones either. I honestly mean this , this is a book you really have to devote your attention to, pay attention and keep your thinking cap on. While this is well written, its almost poetic at times. And by that I mean how certain things that are said need to be broken down, defined, considered. Which is not always a bad thing, its just not my favorite thing to do while reading.
I liked the book. I loved the development of the relationship between these two characters, even if Rem got a little lost along the way.
