๐ฅน I had such a great time listening to this one.
Dev has been in love with the reality dating show, ๐๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ ๐๐ง๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ, since he was 10 years old, and now he works on it! Charlie is attempting to use the show to rehab his reputation and get his tech job back, but heโs definitely not a โnaturalโ Prince Charmingโฆ So now Dev is his โhandlerโ, and yeah, you can say they grow โcloseโ.
I really enjoyed the reality show (picture: ๐๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ข๐ค๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ญ๐ฐ๐ณ) aspect of the story. I watched a season or two of the show, and it was fun imagining a full blown alternative โstoryโ happening in the background.
Charlie and Dev were so adorable, both not thinking the other could possibly be into them, and Charlie finally experiencing sexual attraction for the first time. ๐ฅฐ
And the ending! โค๏ธ It definitely had me tearing up. ๐ฅฒ
(Sidenote: The fact that they were watching ๐๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐น๐ฑ๐ข๐ฏ๐ด๐ฆ, which I am ALSO currently watching. ๐)
Audiobook notes: I really enjoyed both MMC narrators: ๐. They were both individualized, but complemented each other. Plus, there was a bonus female narrator for certain interim parts, which also helped breakup the chapters a bit.
What this book is giving:

Romcom
โ
MM
