Thank you to Ashley James and The Author Agency for an ALC in exchange for an honest review!
Whew. I knew right away Ashley James was going to keep me laughing, but then to learn she was also going to pull at my heart strings, make me drool, and infuriate me? Well, I couldn't ask for much more from an author. Then she threw in little references to one of my favorite authors (Victoria Wilder & her Foxx brothers) and Sleep Token.
But seriously, Finn was beyond five stars as an audiobook. The duet narration brought Finn and Ash to life so well, sometimes so much so that I had to turn down the volume because I didn't need anyone overhearing. 👀 And while you DEFINITELY want to pick this one up for the spicy scenes, it also touches on the unconditional love we all hope to have from our family, growing up gay, and more.
While I am now obsessed with this book, I kind of wish I hadn't found it until all of the series was out because I need the other books like now!! I don't know if this will be the next book, or if it's going to be hinted at for a while, but I think we're going to be seeing a best friend's dad book in this series, and I just know it's going to be HOT if it's anything like Finn and Ash's book.
