 I don’t do a lot of audiobooks but I loved listening to the author reading this book. Sewanee and Nick were just amazing characters and I loved their trajectory. Both had their tragic pasts that they had to face, and the conflicts that came out of it made complete sense. It wasn’t perfect, but they did get a HEA, or at least a happy for now. I would love more of their story, to be honest, and that to me is the sign of great character development.

A very cute easy breezy book. A++ audiobook narration! Sewanee and her relationships were really well developed. Honestly this book was very predictable but the dramatic irony made it fun! Julia Whelan is fantastic with her narration. Light read with nothing major that irked me but also nothing special and mostly forgettable tbh so 3.75 stars!

 (Tried to read this in March 2024) 

• I’m sorry but for once I picked up a book just for the romance, and so it happens that this book is more adult problems and dealing with adulthood and her asshole father, anything but ROMANCE (and a one night stand in Las Vegas does not count lol)
• I was excited because my fav booktuber recommended it, because Julia Whelan wrote it and narrates this and she’s one of my fav narrators! But this was just not for me.
• The author gave her such a “unique” name and the character had an accident so she lost one of her eyes, and yet, her story is so boring. I listened to it one day and then I didn’t care to pick this up again.
• I find funny that this book is sold as a romance book, when there’s barely any romance in it and the main character hates romance books.
• Anyways, I really wanted to like this, love it even, but I am going to DNF.

ahhh i loved listening to this, julia is an amazing narrator. AND she wrote the book, and by the authors note we get to know a lot more about her (that she has many similarities with the characters she made up). she is so talented. i will be looking out for more books by her. 

i really enjoyed learning about the making of audio books. and nick and swan are the sweetest characters ever!
