I honestly was NOT expecting to cry this much listening to this book. I didn't have the best things to say about Paul and Vince in Tell Me It's Real, but I think I'm going to go back and listen to that book in audiobook, because I think Michael Lesley might be able to change my mind on the story. Because this book hit me right in the feels. It was so heartfelt and the confessions were so raw...I couldn't take it and this left me sobbing. Happy tears, but still. I wasn't expecting it. <3

There's really not much to say about this book without giving something away. It's a lot fo the usual shenanigans you can expect from the Tucson characters. I think I'm an outlier on one of everyone's favorite moments though - Sexy Paul. Sexy Paul is what happens when Paul has too much to drink, and this happened in front of pretty much everyone Paul knows because Sandy is a devious mastermind. I thought the scene went on way too long, honestly. But I feel like there were a lot of other scenes that more than made up for this one.

It was great seeing Sandy and Darren being all in love and gross, while at the same time, seeing Paul and Vince being super horny before the wedding. My favorite part of this book is probably Vince listening to NPR and being extremely well informed about worldly matters.

This book was super fun and it was nice seeing the characters in a new light. It's very exciting that we meet Corey/Kori's love interest for the next book, because I think it's going to be super interesting to see how that'll play out.

Michael Lesley's narration is an utter gift and has made me like books I wouldn't otherwise have been able to read. How do I go from hating Vince in TMIR (I didn't listen to that one in audio) to absolutely loving Vince now? Vince's ignorance can be a little too much more me, but I think he's precious now. His love for Paul is the most precious and endearing thing ever and it's so sweet I almost couldn't stand it.

Anyways, this book was a lot of feels and the most heartwarming book of the series. It's also the shortest, but it's packed with all the sorts of wild things you would expect from these characters and has a very lovely HEA for Paul and Vince.
