   A quick and enjoyable read. This is still a good novella despite the overuse of the misunderstanding trope in romance books. With a curvy MC and both MCs being Black it was full of rep.

Narrator Rating: 3.0 stars
   The narrator did a decent job, but nothing special.

“I wasn’t giving everyone free stuff. I was giving you free stuff. Because I fell for you that first moment I heard you laugh that day.”

Okay this one was also a short-40-pages story but for some reason, I did not like it. It must have been the fact that both MCs are just not likable? Remember when I kept saying I don't like insta-love? Yeahp, this one is just not my cup of tea. It is possible to write a romance that is not insta-love in 40 pages so when I read this book, I was crawling so hard just to finish it. My main motivation is that it's just 40 pages! But I definitely did not expect that it was that hard to read that 40 pages of just...stupid conversation? Either ways, sure, you can read it but I wouldn't if I were you.
