Expiration Dates by Rebecca Serle
4.0

Mini Audiobook Review: This is my first Rebecca Serle book and all I know about her is that she writes sad books. I am not sure what her other books had been like but this one did not make me emotional like I was expecting it to. Could I see why people got emotional? Absolutely - there were some slightly heavy themes and just the romance of it all.

The thing no one ever wants to say about dating is this: It's hard to be real, sure. It's harder to let someone else be.

I was really invested in this story from the start. I love love love the concept of it and though it was a really unique story. There were some plot holes that I do wish were addressed. I thought the length of the book was perfect and I really liked the ending. 

Queen Julia Whelan did the audio which made the listening experience very lovely and perhaps a reason why I was so engaged in the story and wanted to keep listening. 

If you are looking for a romance without the spice, the swoon but with magical realism - check this out!
