📚 This book! It was perfect. There was comedy, there was intrigue, there was yearning, there was action, there was spice, there were chases, there were zebras. What more could you want???
💞 The romance was lovely. The two MCs had great chemistry, they were both super into each other, there was yearning aplenty. They both had their own insecurities to overcome in order to get together. And the sexual tension was 😚🤌
😆 This rom-com made me smile and laugh a bunch. The main characters were quirky in their ways and I think the side characters really shine too. They feel like complete, complex characters but also are good for some comic relief. And Vasti is just really funny and has a great sense of humor IMHO, there are so many good asides/little thoughts or actions.
🎧 Dual POV, 3rd person, single narrator (female). I believe Mhairi Morrison has done all of Vasti's books so far, and she continues to do them really well. I often get disappointed when it's dual POV with only one narrator, but Morrison did a great job and I didn't feel like I was "missing" a male narrator.
🌶️ 3.5/5 It's not a spice-forward book, but there are multiple explicit scenes and tons of tension and good chemistry.
🏳️🌈✊ There are a MM couple and an unwed mother who the MMC is close to. One man in the MM pair is Black. There's definitely an inclusive/accepting attitude throughout the book, but we do spend most of the pages with the MMC and FMC alone, or not with many other people, so the side characters don't get highlighted that much.
