I did end up reading this, by the way! I had a hard time with the "repro"isms, since I get enough of their modern-day variant (the "corporatism") in real life today. :) Apart from that, I really dug this story. Thanks for the hook-up! I'll add Starcrossed to my TBR now.

Just started reading this one yesterday. The weird vocabulary is rather strange. Some reviews I've read said they never got used to it or were able to pick up on the lingo.
