 I was totally fascinated with the first half or so of this book, but as it went on, I started losing interest. It was too wide of a variety of topics coming at me too fast, and most of it was information I didn't particularly care about learning. 😅 I think this book would be more fitting for someone who cares more about, say, complex math and physics than I do? But Wil Wheaton's audio narration is always delightful.
 

 Tabby and Spencer are completely unhinged in the best, silliest way and I loved it. The treasure hunt freaking sent me.
 

 I loved the disability rep in this book. ♥️ The MMC uses a cane and it's a very normal, casually implemented part of his character that feels totally real. The book doesn't harp on about his disability too frequently, but also doesn't exclude it from how he views himself and how he worries others will perceive him. Loved it.
 

So sweet. We didn't get to see the tension build up as much between the two characters since they had known each other for a while before the story began, but that also gave it a sense of believability that I didn't mind at all. I LOVED the bits about Peyton's disability and how it affected her, especially how Joshua treated her - being unafraid to touch her stump, not treating her as a fragile thing, understanding her fears without pitying or trying to coddle her.

✨ Representation: FMC with an amputated arm

✨ Content warnings: trauma, brief mentions of shark attacks, anxiety/panic attacks, PTSD, explicit sex

A cute, sweet, fun time. Heavy on the insta-love, but I've reached a point in my life where I don't mind it so much in fluffy romance novellas.
