A delightful and cheeky little book which sets clear goals from the outset to set a strong plot with the 'switch' occurring within the first 15% of the book.
As the book bounces between the 2 POV's I enjoyed Eileens more which occasionally meant i found myself slightly disinterested in Lena's storyline. Eileen felt more well rounded and overall just more loveable. Her interactions with the other characters feel more real and heartfelt.
The interaction between Eileen and Latrisha was so funny and wholesome - who wouldn’t want to check their tea leaf fortune and see a big dick when on the hunt for love .
I feel I may have enjoyed this book more in a non-audio format as having the narrators reading the online dating site message conversations was a bit annoying as they repeated the usernames before each exchange.
Overall a pleasant book, light hearted for the most part. A decent palate cleanser, though nothing overly dramatic that I would see myself reaching out to re-read over other books.
