Such a slow paced book and very confusing timeline/characters when listening to the audio. Would have done better reading the physical book. Last few lines had me in tears.

DID NOT FINISH: 12%

It's not pulling me in at the moment. I'll probably try again later as I've liked other books by the author.

As always I loved how quirky the characters were

So, here's the thing... I haven't finished a book in years now, I believe, so I just needed an easy win. And this book was definitely it. Easy to read and pleasant. Not really my cup of tea (and certainly the kind of romance I certainly would never read), but that doesn't make this book bad. The ending felt a bit rushed. Overall, a pleasant and not too challenging experience.
