Overall Thoughts:
⁕ The concept of this book had so much promise. An agency dedicated to seeking revenge for scorned lovers promised a unique stage for the romance of our two main characters to play out. Most of their significant encounters took place outside of this setting, though -- leaving me with a sense of disappointment and general lacking.
⁕ Using the Brinkley's mother as source of conflict outside of the romance allowed character development beyond the stereotypical relationship drama in every rom com. It was enjoyable, but there still could have been more of it.
⁕ I listened to the audiobook, and the narrator's choices devalued the story being told. What should have been serious, tender moments ended up being lessened by goofy acting choices and over the top silliness.
