breedaniell 's review for:
Adjacent: A Building 402 Novella
by Alexandra Warren
audiobook review 🎧
the narration definitely added to the quality of the story. i actually really enjoy the neighbors to lovers type beat. the humor was decent, big mama saying "my titties are low but my spirits are high" did make me cackle.
the spice, however, was lackluster. i also feel like the story was a bit everywhere & i'm not a super fan of the bitter ex/situationship subplot. also, arthur being super vulgar with his flirtatiousness while also making sure everyone heard him pounding his pursuits kinda turned me off. i get that's his personality or whatever.
i would have enjoyed a lengthier novel with witty banter between the mcs, more detailed & lengthier spicy scenes, and a bit more structure. with a longer novella, eve's backstory about her relationship with her sister, mother & grandmother could've been told better.
2.75/5
