5.0

This was such a cute novella! The meet cute set up was so fun and I loved how things evolved over the years between T and C. Their game of wishing the other happy Valentine’s Day first was adorable. Things did get a little iffy for me towards the end though because of the big reveal. I never like it when one person is left in the dark while the other knows everything. I also really could have done without the entire scene featuring the old hookup. The ending was very sweet though and it left me wanting to see more of these characters. This novella and the one by Abby Jimenez are definitely the best from this collection.

The audio was well done and I really loved the narration by Marli Watson and Andrew Gibson. The majority of the novella was in email format though, so it did make the beginning a bit awkward repeating the email addresses over and over again.
