I had such a great time reading this! I feel like a dummy for taking so long to pick this up!

This was exactly the cozy read I needed after dealing with some difficult shit that happened this month. It made me feel warm and happy. It was a delight to follow Asiri and Dario as they fell in love. 

As a huge animal lover, I’m an absolute sucker for character who also love all kinds of animals, but in the case of Asiri also have the ability to talk to them as well! It was so funny how different the  animals were from one another. They each had a unique voice that made them interesting additions to the narrative. 

The only sad thing was how Dario kept misinterpreting Asiri because she kept getting annoyed at the animals talking to her, and he thought she was getting annoyed at him. My ADHD sweetheart of a man did not deserve that kind of stress πŸ˜” At least ultimately that all gets cleared up as Asiri doesn’t find it annoying at all how excited Dario gets when talking about animal facts. We love to see it πŸ™πŸ»

Now I just desperately need the sequel πŸ˜©πŸ‘ŒπŸ»
