THIS. WAS. WONDERFUL.
I hit play on the audiobook and didn't stop until it was over. It had me hooked right from the start. I still have that giddy "just read an amazing book that made me giggle and kick my legs" post-book buzz that is making writing this review very difficult. How do I make a review a logical and comprehensive summary of the feeling "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"?
The amount of meta self-references was an absolute delight, and I adored the humor that this carried from beginning to end.
I will recommend this to everyone who loves a cute romance that doesn't take itself too seriously and also has a good amount of spicy spice. I also recommend the audiobook, the narrators' voices perfectly matched the characters, both narrators had the same pacing (this is critical for folks who listen at higher speeds) and it was a seamless listening experience overall.
Also, big kudos to the author who put very a comprehensive trigger warning at the outset of the book. Not just explaining what you will find in this story, but also what chapter to skip if you find yourself triggered by that topic. And also a not about what you WON'T find in the book, which is just as important.
This will be in my top reads of February (if not 2024), no doubt about it.
Big thank you to NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for a free advanced listener copy of the audiobook. All opinions are my own, and I am leaving this unbiased review voluntarily.
