This book gave me Meg Ryan 90s rom com vibes! It was such a quirky, charming read that I thoroughly enjoyed. It was nice to put this audiobook on and chill out for my commute. You couldn't help but root for Annie and Liam after they had an awkward meet cute on an airplane. I had a very enjoyable few hours listening to my first Katie Bailey book. I look forward to reading Liam's sister's book soon!

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you @netgalley, @authorkatiebailey and @dreamscape_media for the chance to listen to this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.
This one starts with immediate action and "shenANNIEgans". These two are so different and immediately get thrown into awkward situations that don't seem to end, but in the best way.   The first few chapters were a little tough to keep my attention but that quickly changed and I couldnt wait to see what situation they got into next. Kudos to the author on some of the mystery in the beginning with Legs. It was hilarious misdirection. While there is sexual tension between Liam and Annie, this one is only kisses! I loved the build up and the connection. I also loved all of the pop culture references! Overall this was super cute, sweet, and swoony!

Be still my beating heart… Best slow burn romance that I’ve read in recent years. And good humour too.

3.75-4. This story is told in dual POV. 

The female narrator chosen for this story did a good job bringing the female lead to life. Her voice fit the personality I would have pictured the character to be. 

The male narrator took some getting used to. His voice was to much like news reporter/announcer, and while he grew on me I still thought he was ok. 

Overall I enjoyed this story. It is a sweet, cute rom com with lovable characters. From beginning to end I was drawn into the story. 

Thank you NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for the opportunity to listen and review this audiobook.

Thank you Netgalley for providing a digital ARC.

So That Happened is a sweet simple workplace rom-com. It was a lighthearted and quick read. The dialogue was occasionally a bit too cheesy for my liking, but it was overall enjoyable.
