I do not think there are words in my brain to explain how much i LOVED THIS BOOK. I actually preordered the purple Walmart special edition and it arrived today, literally within minutes of me finishing the audiobook. Fate, i tell you.

Aiden and Lucy are THAT couple and i am so in love with them. I was actively getting so upset while reading this, that it wasn't MY life! 😭 BK is such a lover girl, she writes the cutest romance books ever. I knew after loving Lovelight Farms this book would be such a banger.

The audiobook is like... half a duet narration? But so good. i REALLY wish it was a full duet because the two voice actors NAILED this. I initially felt like the voice for Aiden felt a little too young for them to be late 20's but the voice eventually grew on me?? I loved how this was produced, with the little radio/podcasty bits in-between chapters. Its exactly as i wanted and hoped for. Ever since i listened to "Love and other conspiracies" by Mallory Marlow, i had high hopes that they would add the same vibes to this audiobook recording since that book is also based around a podcast - its an easy way to immerse your readers into your book and both that book and this one did it and I'm very happy about that

Lets start with how HE KEPT A LIST OF HER FAVORITE SHIT SO HE WOULD REMEMBERRRRRRRRR. oh my god Aiden the man that you are. You spent so much time worried you weren't allowed to love, and then fell head over heels in the best way.

I don't want to spoil anything but this book starts with a curious little girl who calls into a radio show on behalf of her mom. Her mom ends up intercepting the phone call and everything explodes from there. Lucy tells the story of her lack of a love life to Love talk radio show host Aiden, and Aiden's station manager decides "lets help Lucy find love" while also helping their station get its ratings up. Its such a fun road for us to watch Lucy discover things about herself and her love languages, while also seeing her quirky semi-found family dynamics, while also learning of Aiden's troubled history with his love life/family, and how the two of them end of becoming the most magical couple to ever couple.

I've never seen sleepless in Seattle admittedly, but this book makes me want to now! I also learned after finishing that this will be a 3 book interconnected series. I have guesses, but unlike most romance series like this, i have no idea who the 2nd book will be about 👀 but i love this little world that BK has built for us and I'm so so excited for the rest of these books to come out! 

There are also 2 spotify playlists i found that people made for this book and they're both so cute and perfect so look those up and give them a listen if you wana feel the fun vibes! 💜
