I think reading the physical book would be more enjoyable than the audiobook. I think I’d be able to enjoy the cheesiness more without the narrator. Listening to it made the cheesiness much more noticeable.

This is a cozy cutesie read. Glad I read it but it won’t make my favorites list. Would read anything else by the author.

The storyline was based too much around sexual tension. Too much sex, not enough story.

The storytelling and the narrator are both brilliant. This isn’t my normal genre but I would read many more of this.
