This review is for the audio. I usually take in romances that way, and I was expecting this one to have a similar style. I was pleasantly surprised at Tia Williams’ and Mela Lee’s unique voice and performance, which included “so true it has to be funny” humor - like not being able to think clearly while wearing pants, being an adult is a lie and we’re all just all toddlers, and how one of the side characters is the human equivalent of a spam email. Yet through it’s hilarious moments, it’s not frothy or light; the humor almost seems to be a coping mechanism for the pain the characters experience. I was a bit confused at first, since the narrative switches between the different characters and timelines, but once I understand the premise, it took off from there. Recommended if you want the A24 take instead of the Hallmark experience.
