"This is friends-to-lovers romance…but it's in the science-fiction story line where Cole really shines. The setup of Mixed Signals seems eerily plausible, and the entwined love story will satisfy sci-fi and romance readers alike."—New York Times bestselling author Sarah MacLean, Washington Journal, Best Romances of November 2015
Four years after the Flare, the world is finally starting to rebuild
For Maggie Seong, that means leaving the safety of her family's cabin for college. She won't be alone, though—hunky former military cadet Edwin Hernandez, family friend and self-appointed Protector of Maggie's Virtue, will be there. Maggie would much prefer that Edwin himself dispose of her "innocence," but he's already rejected her advances once, and a girl has her pride.
Things look pretty bleak romance-wise until Maggie discovers that Devon, the pre-Flare internet boyfriend she'd assumed was dead, is not only alive but on campus. Despite the passage of time, their bond is strong, and they quickly pick up where they left off. Even as Devon aims for a chance at love IRL—everything Maggie thought she'd wanted—Edwin's desire to protect her makes her question her heart.
Maggie's torn between the future she didn't dare to hope for and the past she can't let go of. And when a group of neo-Luddite terrorists threaten the campus, everyone's loyalties will be tested. To ensure that the world doesn't go back to the dark days following the Flare, Maggie might have to sacrifice it all.

This post apocalyptic story was a definite page turner. As the third installment in the Off The Grid series, this is a stand alone, but is best read after the first two. All of the underlying events and characters in this book are set up by the other books. To get to delve in to Maggie's coming of age story, after she and her family have survived The Flare, was almost like reading about any young adult trying to find themselves. Her growing relationship with Edwin, in the midst of his own issues, was actually refreshing. This was a nice read.
This series is SO good. I love that we got to see how quickly the world fell apart and then watch the survivors find a way to piece it back together again as the series progressed. It's not always pretty and there are plenty of bumps in the road, but they're slowly making it work.
Maggie's grown up a lot since the first book. At the same time, she's been very lucky to have her entire family survive the crazy. She was sheltered because of this and being out in the world--even a carefully structured one like the college campus--is a bit of a shock to her system. Throw in a boy she had feelings for before the Flare and the man she's developed a serious crush on since and things get a little complicated.
I really REALLY liked the progression of Edwin and Maggie's friendship. It felt very real and tangled as Maggie tries to ignore the feelings she has for him while Edwin slips between being protective and subtly jealous. I just genuinely liked them together and found myself giving Devon the stink eye whenever he'd pop up and disrupt that.
Simply put, this entire series is fantastic and I've enjoyed every minute of it. The Seong family keeps things interesting as they stumble into relationships while society is trying to recover from a world-changing event. Added bonus Mama Seong. I like that woman and her unfiltered observations.

This is the third book in a post-apocalyptic series. I still haven’t read the first, but I reviewed (and enjoyed) the second book here. It’s been a few years since the Flare knocked out all the electricity. Long enough for small power grids to come back on. Long enough for Maggie, the youngest Seong sibling, to get her GED, learn to play the guitar really well, and head off to college.
As the story opens, Maggie is chopping off all of her hair. It’s been her most complimented feature, and she hid behind it a lot. Now that she’s going away to college, she’s ready for a new, more powerful identity.
Her brother’s friend Edwin is driving her there. Maggie has had kind of a crush on Edwin for a while, but he rejected her, so she’s working on getting over it.
“I didn’t want to be that creep, fawning over someone with the hopes that one day I’d beat them into submission and they’d settle for me. What kind of love song would that make? ‘It only took ten years, of you living in fear, but finally you’re mine, baby, please stop crying…’”
Maggie has the Seong sarcasm down. When a girl in the dorm assumes that Maggie loves anime because she’s Korean, Maggie says, “Okay. Am I supposed to ask you for the mayonnaise-based recipes of your people now?” I could fill this whole review with Maggie quotes. She’s tough. She’s adapting. She’s learning to use her words.
On her first day in the dorm, Maggie runs into Devon, the internet boyfriend she never met in person whom she thought was dead. Yeah, that’s a lot of emotional drama right there, and it kicked me in the gut. It’s like her teenage fantasy come to life, and then he kisses her. She takes a moment to swoon, but then it’s back to using her words, trying to find out what happened to him.
Don’t worry, Maggie doesn’t spend all of her time torn between Devon and Edwin. She’s more focused on finding her way in the world. She gets a job, she writes songs, and she texts her family members. She spends time with both guys and discovers qualities that she values in a person. She is also always on guard, well aware that there are power-tripping, smarmy, objectifying men all around her.
The author blends in some of what’s happening in the rest of the country, too. Maggie’s brother John and his boyfriend Mikael are helping to restore the power grid, but they stop by the cafeteria to tease her about boys and also give her lots of moral support. Edwin works with campus security, and Devon meets up with an environmental group that thinks that going back to the old system is a bad idea. It’s an interesting peek into what-ifs, but it doesn’t detract from the main story about Maggie.
This was a fun book with a great narrator. It manages to sustain the post-apocalyptic setting while allowing for progress in the world, and it features a smart, kick-ass heroine.
Rating B+

It's hard to talk about this book without devolving into gushing. Strong narrative voice, stellar characters, and thrilling plot. Also fascinating to see a society during the rebuilding process--most disaster fiction ends before this point. A wonderful end to a wonderful series!
Third in this series, and as complex as the first two. I very much enjoyed it and recommend the trilogy highly!
