Narrator Rating: 3 stars

  A fake dating relationship between a woman with severe anxiety and another woman with minimal self-worth and commitment avoidance, somehow becomes something more?
   I loved the first two books in this series, but boy this one.
  Wow, this book was annoying! I don't know why Stevie didn't try to get on better medication! If you're freaking out that much, change your meds. I'm saying this as someone WITH GAD, and SAD. 
  I could relate to Stevie and Iris, but they just kept doing the absolute worst things they could do in many situations and I wanted to scream at them! 
    I don't think the narrator helped as she did the most annoying voice for Stevie and some of the other characters. Which just made the book more infuriating. 
   Overall, a huge letdown from the previous books.
