I have literally written this review like 10 times because no combination of words seems to capture how I actually feel about this book. But what it boils down to is me:
• giggling and squealing and kicking my feet over how dang cute the main characters are together
• blushing over the spice. It wasn't anything too serious, but definitely some k!nk and plenty of scenes to blush over
• actually laughing out loud because of the puns/dad jokes. Sometimes a bit too cringe, but overall can't complain.
But why? What's to love about this book?
Literally everything. But seriously:
• Family dynamics that are so cute and funny
• A plus size FMC who's body confident and sex positive
• The melt worthy s p i c e
• The chemistry between the leads was just *chef's kiss*
Only caveat: The audiobook is dual pov. The FMC's pov was read really well. But MMC's pov had a lot of heavy breathing, which when listening through headphones was kind of.. off-putting?
But I'd genuinely recommend reading a physical or digital copy of this book!
