2.0

No spice, single POV, beat for beat update of "You've Got Mail," but it's champagne and a dating app instead of books and AIM chatrooms.

Not slamming an adaptation, you just know what you're getting immediately.

The baby fever and hard open with poop jokes seemed a little out of control in this one early on. The baby fever sticks around, but blessedly, we move on to other events after a few scenes. (Layne seems most comfortable mid-plot and away from table-setting.)

Narrators: Rachanee Lumayno does a good job. I grabbed this book bc I love Shaun Taylor-Corbett and was excited to see him as a voice in a romance- he reads all the correspondence interludes for Sir and my dude is a swoon-master. Those reads slapped.
