This was a decent read. It was pretty low angst in terms of the relationship but the context it was set over was kinda intense (

permanent amnesia

). 

Overall the characters were sweet and I enjoyed them and their story. The plot wasn't too beefy but kept me just entertained enough to keep listening. 

Nice to see a 6' tall woman as the lead. Also nice to have some dyslexia rep.

This was such a lovely read. It was sweet and fluffy and so easy to lose yourself in. I just wanted to stay nestled within its pages and never leave.

Naomi and Finn were so cute/awkward/sweet together. They had me giggling so much! I loved that they bonded online before meeting in person. I also really liked the discussion around girls (especially black girls) having to present themselves in a certain way. I also really liked the way Finn’s injuries were handled, though I wish there was a little bit more there in regard to his PT/rink time/medication use.

Anyway! This was such a cozy, sweet read and I can’t wait to see where this series goes. Sunny Disposition is getting four stars from me! 😊

Deanna Grey is quickly become an insta-buy author for me- her stories and characters are endearing and heart aching in the best way while not shying away from the fact that even in love stories, people have an ugly reality to contend with. However those realities don’t bog the story down or overshadow the romance in a way that makes it feel like characters are using romance as escapism. Grey does a beautiful job keeping her stories grounded in reality, writing honestly and earnestly. And this very much continues in ‘Sunny Disposition’ 

Naomi, a cozy gaming streamer, math eficianado, and perpetual ray of sunshine, is well rounded outside of her romantic plot line: she’s dealing with grief and boundary setting and giving herself permission to feel anger/frustration. Finn is more than our grumpy MM- he’s coming to terms with the reality of memory loss and navigating relationships he doesn’t remember. These characters are dealing with incredibly real things and I loved them all the more for it.

‘Sunny Disposition’ is emotional, engaging, sweet, steamy when it needs to be- it’s an excellent contemporary romance that you can’t help but devour. I couldn’t be more excited to see the Mendell Hawks series continues 🖤

This was a cute book but there were a few plot points that I don't think were fleshed out. Was an easy and fun read. Definitely liked the more accurate body representation and that they are both tall.  

My frustrations/confusions are hidden in the spoiler as are not part of the blurb of the book and was a surprise where the story went:
 

The whole corrupt Sports Director thing would of been a good thing to follow but we dont even know what is going on with that?? Just simple hints. WTH. Also Wished we would of seen a lot more of Finn before the accident so we would know what the guys keep comparing to the "old Finn"
