The Player x The One Who Wants a Family

The audiobook was narrated so well, I can not get over how well they did.  The book itself was okay.  I liked it a lot more than I would have thought.  The small town vibe was nice, the characters had decent chemistry, and the banter was cute between them; plus I love the fake dating trope so that was nice. 

However, I really hate pregnancy tropes so maybe it’s just that but it was so annoying how Grace needed to have kids.  Brushing over the fact she had a job she liked and did well at.  It was like having a kid was her only life goal.  It just felt too much like having a family was a personality trait for her.  It felt too forced.  Respectfully, it just seems weird to only want kids because you like the idea of them.

Fake dating trope, whoop whoop✨ I liked this, Grace x Charlie❤️ It was sad because Grace had early menopause, and a fiancé had cheated on Charlie. But I guess when the bartender is hot, it triggers people's dirty minds. Grace checked out Charlie as if she was a guy; I don't know; she had all the right to do it because she had eyes that could spot people, a hot person. I liked that Charlie was friendly and flirty but also rough around the edges. His family was so sweet to Grace. I love that. I also wanted that Diane got fired because she was sus. I also hated that Grace was about to beg Charlie to be with her; we don't beg in this house, my girl. Oh well, everything worked out for the best, so it was a satisfying ending. Thank you, Willow, ❤️
