Dang, I am just...floored by the plot of this dramatic audio book. 

In general, it starts off with a very cutesy and rather silly storyline; a text to a wrong number and a romance kindled over time. Knowing what I know about all of these Audible Original graphic audio books, I wasn't expecting anything mind blowing or brilliant. They've all been pretty simple but at least mildly entertaining. Entertaining enough. 

This one though had a rather insane plot twist that I genuinely can't believe someone actually wrote. It's the sort of thing that almost feels like...it's too out there for it not to have been inspired by something that actually happened with someone. Honestly, it took the cutesy right out of the whole story.

And I, quite frankly, cannot believe that he forgave her.
