The premise for this is so up my alley but the dialogue was just not it. Also...Wyatt kind of sucks. He's not a nice or good guy and he feels really possessive. And her fiancé is *comically* wrong for her and he stuck around way too long. We didn't get any time really with the two of them rediscovering each other.
Also, why was the dual timelines for only in part one? Bizarre and made the pace wonky.
I did like her relationship with her family and the community. I think that was well done and relatable. I wish we got more time with Grace but I get it, kind of. I think the balance of who her time was spent with was off but oh well.
Very nitpicky but also what...is her job. It's not HR. And a flash mob? In the year of our lord Ken 2023 her clients were excited about a FLASH MOB? No. She should have been nearly fired because the clients hated it not because of her cartoonish villain boss.
How H O W would she not know the song was about her? There'  no way he didn't sing snippets around her. Like...we could have had moments in her head of her wondering or hoping or SOMETHING.

This is also just an audiobook thing, but the narrators were both great and we got SO little time with Wyatt so we heard so little of his narrator. I think a duet narration would have been really good for this one.
