The plot was unique, not your average romcom :)

Thank you to NetGalley and Roni Loren for an advanced audio copy in return for my honest review. What If You & Me is available for purchase July 6, 2021!
Andi recently moved into a duplex, shared by a mysterious retired firefighter, Hill Dawson. Both Andi and Hill have dark pasts and emotional struggles they are working through. Though the two are an unexpected pair, they way they balance one another out is nothing short of magic. Will Andi and Hill be able to put aside their past trauma's to make it work or will they lose out on the attraction of a lifetime?
I listened to this story on audiobook - that being said I think for me personally, that made all the difference. If this was a book that I read, I don't think I would have enjoyed it. The story line was a bit predictable and there was a bit too much smut for my liking and because of this there are many more physical books I would prefer to read that I would enjoy more. But because my audiobook catalog is running low at the moment, this did a decent job holding my attention and I finished listening in about two sittings. The beginning of the story did have me hooked, but towards the end it just felt dragged out.
**Please note - It always pains me to leave a less than stellar review as I have the utmost respect and appreciation for authors and the content they create for us.

I still enjoyed the first one much more but this was as just as beautiful a story in terms of healing and facing your demons

3.5 ⭐️ Quick read, cute, grump/sunshine, mildly spicy and wraps up in a nice neat Happily Ever After!

Character driven book with rep for depression, anxiety and trauma. Does a good job exploring different ways people are affected and the journey to healing. Definitely not a fluffy read, but a good story nonetheless.

4.5 ; the communication between Andi and Hill was amazing. just simply amazing. I love Andi. Her backstory was definitely not what I was expecting, so it really got me hooked on the book. And obviously I love Hill. ugh he’s the definition of ✨men written by women✨

Take a shot every time someone “rolls their lips” seriously we need a better descriptor.
This book was good, my gripes are that the parts that needed more had less and what had more shouldn’t have been included. I liked the representation here and that is something Roni always does a superb job at.
