Audiobook: Bookstagrammers were right again with this one. This book really didn't pick up until a little over halfway through when the triplets went off to college. I thought the concept was interesting especially during the early times IVF. Infertility is a topic that is being put on the forefront in recent years so I can imagine in the 80s and 90s, infertility was not something that was discussed. The relationships with the siblings were very interesting. It some sense it was nice seeing how weird they were towards each other and not so cookie cutter. Their relationship was very complex and it seemed that as they got older the relationships changed for the better. 

Audiobook: I am conflicted on how I feel about this book. In once aspect I loved that this was second chance romance in the political world but I also disliked it because of the politics. I have read more second chance romances this year than I have in prior years and I really them! The narrator in this reminded me a mix of Anna Faris and Jennifer Coolidge. Overall I thought this was enjoyable!! Interested to see if Ashley continues to do any more romance books as we all know that thrillers is where she soars. 

Audiobook: I wish this one stuck out to me compared to the other two in this series but it didn't. I am not sure what all goes into event/wedding planning except for my own but my officiant didn't have anything to do with my planning so I found the circumstances of the two working together a little far fetched. I also have waited too long to do this review so my memory may be a bit foggy. I do remember RJ being reallllly stubborn when it comes to love and being in a relationship. I loved the tension between the two. Even despite everything, I still enjoyed this book & wanted to keep listening. 

For audio, it really threw me off when the female narrator from the first book and the male narrator of the second book were the narrators for this one. I think it would have been better if each character had their own voice for the narration. It also didn't help that I listen to all 3 in a row so perhaps if I had listened when the books were released, I wouldn't have had an issue. 

Audiobook: I have been wanting to read this series for awhile and specifically have seen how good this one was. And everyone did not let me down. Wes and Britta were both great characters. As an active plus size person, it was refreshing to see this on pages. I also love how Wes and Britta relationship started by innocent flirts through the app as this felt very current with all the different dating apps out there. I enjoyed the audio of this with the narrators. You can never go wrong when Teddy Hamilton is the male voice - swoon! 

Audiobook: I am kicking myself for not biting the bullet and reading this one sooner. 
I absolutely love this book! 
The narrator did an excellent job doing both voices.
This did have some heavy topics so please make sure to check trigger warnings. 

Audiobook: 
Thank you to Harpercollins Audio for a copy of this! 
I absolutely adored this one!! I loved it more than The Matzah Ball. 
I almost thought Dara wasn't going to make the right choice but then it wouldn't be a HEA. 
The narrator did an excellent job. 
Once again Meltzer taught me about the Jewish culture and I thank her for that! 
Highly recommend! 

Audiobook -
Thank you to Penguin Random House for a copy of this audio!
This was a really quick listen. 
Told from dual POV - male and female. 
Love the celeb with a normal person aspect. 
The male MC was asexual which was awesome to see represented in a male and a male of color. 

FINALLY the most exciting book!!!! 
This was probably my favorite one out of the three because it actually had conflict and things happening. I know I said in the previous review that the first two could have been meshed together but honestly, it might have worked if all 3 books were in one. 
Another quick listen via audio. And once again I am smitten with Christopher Briney's voice during his narration. 

Audiobook: Love that we got a dual POV in this one. 
Once again it was voiced by the actors from the show - Hello Gavin Casalegno's voice.
I think the first two books could've been meshed into one. 
This also was a quick listen. 

Audiobook - Love that it was read by the actress who played Belly. 
Really excited to finally watch the show and see what all the buzz is about.
