The Honey-Don't List by Christina Lauren
4.0

Ah this was really short but cute! My friends loved this, so I pretty much assumed I would too, and while it's not my favorite romance ever, I really enjoyed listening to this audio.

The premise of this book set the story up for a lot of drama, but it honestly fit the characters and plot quite well! There was a lot going on, but it made the downtime the Carey and James found with each other even sweeter. I loved seeing the moments they were able to steal away for themselves, and that they had so much more to talk about than just commiserating about the bosses. I also loved how sweet James was, and how much he seemed to look out for Carey. Carey was overall my favorite character though, I loved seeing her grow and stand up for herself more as the story went on. I thought it was great to see a main character that struggled with a chronic illness, and how the story seemed to shape itself around that without ever putting her down for it. The way James tried so hard to be conscious of it and her only made me love them even more.

I think this might actually be my first Christina Lauren book, but this one has me excited to try out more! It was just a super soft, sweet romance that felt quick and didn't overly hang around in the frustrating components of romance (miscommunication, big fights, break-ups, etc.)
