I think the naive MC might throw me off the book though, I'm usually very picky about my main characters.

I do like the fact that the sci-fi isn't heavy, but I also want it to "feel" like I'm reading the genre.

I agree; the ending is the best part. I also felt the romance was a bit lackluster. I'll tell you all about it next Tuesday, when my post is published. Great review and I'm glad you enjoyed it.
