I loved the first book by this author, Well Met. I read a physical copy of that one. For this one I decided I’d fit it in by listening to it. Unfortunately, I think it was one I would have enjoyed more by reading. Maybe, maybe not. I honestly started out really enjoying it. In fact one of my first thoughts was when Stacey drunk texted her fling Dex, was that I was glad I wasn’t a drinker, because there were times I have an ex that I might reach out to in the same way she did with him. A lot of the story made me think of my own sad, sad single life. I also watched that movie, The Social Dilemma, right about the time I was listening to this, so there was part of the story that reminded me of that, with having to check my phone all the time and the disappointment when there were no updates. I had some issues with why Stacey got upset at the end, and even some issues with how the man she’d actually been falling in love with handled things. Probably the reason I didn’t enjoy this one as much as the first is that there was a lot of repetitiveness in the how she acted about things or her thoughts, and if I was reading a book I could have skimmed that much quicker than having to listen to it all. It wasn’t bad, and I’ll go back if there is another book in the series, but I’ll probably read instead of listen.
