This was a sweet enough story, and had some fun and good parts to it. I liked the whole premise to the story. There were a lot of good side characters, and overall Cassie and Brian were a lot of fun as well. The story followed a good pace, and had several fun unexpected bits, while also having some predictable parts as well. I personally prefer my romances to give me all the steamy bits, but this was one that basically faded to black as the bedroom scenes began. And I know some people do prefer that, so they will probably find that a positive for this one and it may be more up their alley. I’m sure it is because of this being a bit more sweet than steamy that it also moved kind of slow for me. There was a lot of back and forth for the main characters, meaning a lot of the same thoughts over and over and repeated chapter after chapter. And that got a bit old for me. I also was very mad at Brian at the end for not realizing that something he had told everyone earlier was what was happening and then getting mad at people when they tried to point it out to him. Also being in 3rd person bugged me a bit. Like I really don’t necessarily understand why we needed two separate narrators the way it was done. What amuses me though, is you know how you put a face to a voice, or at least I do? The male narrator’s voice reminded me of an older balding guy, kinda skinny, nerdy, etc. As you can see from the picture of him below, that’s not him. But his voice didn’t really work that great for me. He read the story really well, and did great with all of that, I just didn’t see a guy like what is on the cover of the book from how he sounds. Also, the copy I got was through SoundCloud and I could not get it downloaded to the app on my phone. So since I mostly listen to audiobooks in my car, I had to pull up the website from my phone before I drove anywhere just to get it to play. But that isn’t an issue with the story or anything, just could have affected my mood when listening. I also couldn’t figure out how to speed up the narration, which I rarely do, but I could probably have done that with this book and it might have helped.

In conclusion, definitely a cute story, and if you prefer the fade to black, sweet romance, I would definitely say to give this one a try!
