The Player x The One Who Wants a Family
The audiobook was narrated so well, I can not get over how well they did. The book itself was okay. I liked it a lot more than I would have thought. The small town vibe was nice, the characters had decent chemistry, and the banter was cute between them; plus I love the fake dating trope so that was nice.
However, I really hate pregnancy tropes so maybe it’s just that but it was so annoying how Grace needed to have kids. Brushing over the fact she had a job she liked and did well at. It was like having a kid was her only life goal. It just felt too much like having a family was a personality trait for her. It felt too forced. Respectfully, it just seems weird to only want kids because you like the idea of them.
