My first DNF. I got 48% in and just could not get into it. I didn't like either character. Both were whiny, petty, immature, etc. It just got too annoying to continue the repetitive cycle of ...I like you, let's f*** and You're an A**hole/B**** get away from me.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Stopover: The Miles High Club by T L Swan is my ultimate go-to audiobook, a captivating story that I find myself returning to 3-5 times every year. It hits all the right notes with its perfect blend of tension, romance, and spice, featuring a fiercely determined female protagonist, Emily, who doesn't back down and always has a sharp comeback ready. CJ Bloom brings Emily's character to life with such passion that it adds a new layer of depth to the story.
While I adore Sebastian York and crave more of his narration, the chemistry between Emily and Jay ("Jim") is electrifying. The book is nothing short of spectacular, delivering a phenomenal blend of emotional connection, heartbreak, and ultimately, a deeply satisfying happily-ever-after. TL Swan has crafted a narrative that hooks you from the start and refuses to let go. Highly recommended for anyone who loves a romance that leaves a lasting impression.

Worth a read for the camping scene alone ngl
It wasn't the most groundbreaking or exciting book and the characters were definitely very immature. I also got whiplash from the sudden mood changes of both MCs.
That being said it read like a sitcom set in New York and it was fun to read, easy to digest and kept me relatively hooked throughout the entire book.
The spice wasn't anything special for me, I feel like the author was scared of writing anything too explicit and honestly considering the characters didn't have much else going for them besides good sex, that was a shame.
I do also feel like the ending was kind of rushed, I was invested in the mystery that didn't surround the romance but the big reveal unfortunately fell flat for me.
All in all it was an enjoyable read but it had potential to be a lot more..

5 star read!
Overall a really great read with likable characters. Thought the "I have to break up with you for your own good" portion was unnecessary and made the book a little longer than it needed to be. It would have been great on its own without it. Great story telling, some wonderful laugh out loud moments - will definitely read TL Swan again!
