Thank you Avon, NetGalley, and Libro.FM for the eARC and ALC in exchange for an honest review.
I had a really good time reading this one and enjoyed the banter between Sewanee and Brock. I also enjoyed the little glimpse into the creation of audiobooks and their narrators.
I think this one may lean a little bit more towards women's fiction than romance as we follow Sewanee battle what she wants to do with her career moves as well as tries to tackle family issues for much of the book. It's not that the romance took a back seat, but that these plot points were big plot movers when it came to developing the romance.
TW: On the topic of family issues, it is worth mentioning the following trigger warning: family member with progressing dementia. This was a surprise to me and I had to take a step away from it to get my bearings as someone who has lost several family members to dementia.
This that made this four stars instead of five: the use of dementia as a way to 'motivate' Sewanee and the friendship was a bit lack luster and could've used a bit more building than just the two of them building their careers off each other. The main friendship almost seemed toxic.
All in all, I highly recommend this one and definitely recommend on audio as Julia narrates it herself.
