I want to start off by saying wow what a narrator! So much emotion! Definitely one of the better I’ve listened to. 

I honestly really liked Jonathan. From office grump to a guy literally willing to put his ass on the line (see what I did there). Honestly, he was so much more complex than I anticipated with his previous career and implosion of his previous career to his caretaker role over his father. 

Now Holly I have much more conflicted opinions of. While she does have the past trauma with her previous career and relationship. It’s very apparent she’s one way or the highway, and it comes off very selfish. And how everyone around her must be putting her wants and needs first and heaven forbid they make a mistake. 

That being said, after the third act breakup, I did enjoy the ending. But the entire time I couldn’t help but think that the FMC came off as “woe is me” until the MMC solved all of her problems. 

Thank you so much to Netgalley and Hachette Audio for the ALC!!
