Fake dating + secret pining? Always slaps.
There were some things about the book that were god-tier:
❤️ I love how intimately and emotionally this author writes MM relationships
❤️ The dialogue in here was genuinely funny
❤️ This audiobook was everything. It was a whole one-man show. I kept looking up if this narrator moonlights as a Peppa Pig voice actor because that Welsh coworker voice? Mr. Rabbit. And that pirate joke voice? Tell me that wasn’t Danny Dog’s absentee father, Captain Dog 😆
It was fade to black, which I personally don’t mind. And it was single POV, which can go either way for me.
But it ended up being the single POV that knocked it down to a four. It was going along fine until, kinda abruptly, the non-POV MC had a bunch of character arc things going on at the end? And I just felt disconnected from it in a way that made the ending drag.
