Socially Orcward by Lisa Henry, Sarah Honey

Can you die from a cuteness overload? Because I need life support right now.
If you know me at all, you know I love weird and adorable things and This! Was! Adorable!
An asexual, extremely literal Orc named Dave, who blushes purple and fosters baby dragons, finds his soul mate and best friend in Simon, a sweet human in a bit of a predicament. This misunderstood Orc, who maybe lacks book-smarts, proves his worth and rescues his person by trusting his instincts (he calls them stinks), riding dragons and smashing heads. This was funny, cute and unexpectedly heartwarming. It reads like a fairytale and is slightly childish but that just ads to its charm. However lots of sexual euphemisms and innuendo - so not for kids.
Very easy listen, nicely narrated, and a fun way to spend an afternoon.
