The Stranger in Seat 8B by Nikki Castle
4.0

honestly this is the first book in a while i’ve actually finished without getting bored of the couple, i guess because they don’t actually become one until sorta at the end lmao

i absolutely loved both main characters, loved their banter, the way they understand eachother, the way damien admired annie and was attracted to her from the beginning.

the smut was great, the way they longed for eachother after they went their separate ways and then immediately POUNCED the second they got the chance after reuniting, everything about it was chefs kiss.

and i say this every time but the pov aspect of books is a big deal breaker for me but i LOVED it in this book. it was completely evenly distributed dual pov, with nobody getting more chapters than the other. i didn’t have to end a chapter thinking to myself “please don’t be another ____ chapter..” because i always knew that it wouldn’t be the same person in a row — that bores me very quickly.

only reason it’s getting 4 stars instead of 5 is because i wish this was actually a full book. i feel like it had so much potential and i wouldve really enjoyed it if it went more in depth. it was a little fast paced since it was just a novella.
