I really enjoyed this audiobook!
The fitness instructor aspect was done really well and the author did a good job at including people of all body types and abilities without putting people down that don’t have the ability to work out as hard as others. The author also did an excellent job at portraying mental health issues, mainly anxiety.
I do wish thatSilas told Jo earlier that it was his plan in the beginning to interview her. But I understand that for the sake of the third act breakup, it needed to come about that way.
I also really enjoyed the narrators and am looking forward to listening to more audiobooks by them in the future. BUT I feel like Silas’ narration felt too.. bubbly? In the beginning his character is pitched as a part-time hater (which, same and I love that for him) which makes me think he should’ve sounded more grumpy-ish? But the narrator just felt very light and bubbly the entire time. Besides that I still loved their voices.
Thank you to Hachette Audio for the ALC!
