Blitzed is such a charming read! Quick note: I didn't read either of the prior books in the series as I won this through a Goodreads giveaway, but it didn't take away from the story at all. Don't be afraid to jump right in with this one!
Filled with humor, friendship, and romance, Martin tells the story of an independent woman—Brynn—who built an incredible community around her and the fear of how that dynamic might shift once she invites a little love (of the hot, steamy variety) into her life via Maxwell (my latest book boyfriend). By the end of the book, Martin reminds us boss babes that we can have both the career and the romance, and to allow ourselves to dream big in the process.

Overall great story, excellent execution & the narrator on Audible was awesome! However, I had some issues... Bryn knows about Issa Rae but doesn't know the meaning of "Netflix & Chill"? And then the whole Theo situation irritated me plus i could've done without Eloise. But it gave me RHOA vibes & i LOVE Vonnie!!

2.5 but rounding up
Let me start by saying the audiobook narrator was great. She really played with her tone and I liked it a lot.
Also, this was the first story I read in this series. I think that’s important to note because there was a lot of unnecessary friend details which tried to catch up or remind the reader but for me it just was too much to follow. I don’t know if these are meant as stand alone but I wish I had realized it was a series and read them in order.
My issues seem to be that of others. I thought the beginning was a little choppy. I liked the low angst at first. But I found it hard to believe Brynn would jump to suck conclusions and given this I didn’t think she deserved Maxwell in the end. There were lots of little details that didn’t work for me or just didn’t seem to add to the story. Her mom issue was a bit unnecessary, even if it was serving to show why brynn wasn’t great with relationships. I am guessing we got info in another book but how did she afford that bar? And how could she really afford to give jobs out wherever she went? Just a lot of pieces that didn’t add up or make sense. Maxwell was a great book boyfriend! But as a whole I just felt it was lacking. I will still try out another book by this author.

So cute! I'd already recommended this to a coworker when I was halfway through.
