Super cute, low drama romance with a nice (but short) sex scene. A great romcom premise! Loved having a large-bellied male lead as the typical body type you see for guys in romance and erotica (even in curvy/fat subcategory) isn't my personal preference. André's personality was just as dreamy and I liked Janelle also.
My main gripe was with the narrators. They were both good (excepting the typical slightly overdone falsetto for when Hawk was reading the women characters' lines), but their reading speeds were VERY mismatched. I had to switch back and forth between 1.2x speed for the Marissa Hampton chapters and 1.7x for the Chinua Hawk ones. Not something I've run into at that extreme in a multi-narrator book before.
