trigger warnings: death of parent, workplace misogyny and sexism, sexual content, alcohol, cyber harassment, grief
This was an unexpectedly delightful book. Shay and Dominic were delightfully flirty and fun with each other. I loved their banter and their enemies to lovers build up. The age gap wasn't weird but it was enough that they were able to make jokes about being part of different generations (5/6 years apart).
Shay's character development in relation to her career and how it ties to her grief over her father and her relationships to people in her life was really well done. As someone who is chronically sad about not having strong connections with friends this book was a big fuckign SCHMOOD.
I loved the podcast transcripts as well. It made for a really fun and immersive reading experience.
