Very rarely do I participate in the book trophy thing where I but physical copies just to have. This is the exception. Less than an hour into the audiobook I knew I needed a physical copy as well. While I don't think this book lived up to the premise of being super kinky and smutty I devoured it! As a former overachiever all my self worth is based on external things girlie I liked Scarlett's development. This is the first audiobook I remember listening to that had dual narrators for a single POV book and I need all books to be recorded this way from now on. The narrator for Lukas Blomqvist (he'll forever be a first name last name guy) was GOOD. No idea if the accent is accurate but honestly I don't care. I've seen on other reviews that people thought some of their actions/reactions were immature (Especially Pen) but I think everyone forgets what it's like to be messy in your early 20s so I can forgive that. I also liked the nod to Adam and Olive from Love Hypothesis I thought that was a cute full circle moment.
