Slow Starter

Strong finish. Narrator was awesome as always. the characters were well written. There were plenty of laugh out loud moments. Like the Yankees and the silicone. bottom line it was nice and light.

Bummer

Lori Prince was the only thing I liked about this story.

Joni is kind of an asshole. I couldn’t stand her.

Hope has potential, and she didn’t come across very well like she was confused about her sexuality as much as she was confused about social interactions of any kind.

I was disappointed.

Not best for different sexual orientations

Mysogynistic. While I applaud the truly bold move to address varied sexual orientations, I felt the delivery left much pain in the wake of conflict. Why does a female lead have to address women with such sexual in your face statements - even after being told the other woman was addressing her unchartered sexual orientation? Why does a lead woman have to act like a man to boast her sexual prowess and "conquests"? I tried to complete the book. I really did. I just couldn't continue to listen to the constant badgering and demeaning of the woman trying to understand how to navigate her hits to self esteem. I wanted to see how the woman in such distress came out in the end. Maybe someone can tell me how it ends. Good idea - so poorly detrimental to the subject.

Different in a good way!

I really liked this book. Lori Prince is the perfect narrator for this, too. I am fast becoming a fan of the TB Markinson/Miranda MacLeod duo. I really didn’t want this one to end and am hopeful for a sequel...? Definitely worth the credit!!

Definitely a slow burn!

Writing was well done, humorous. There were some negative comments about misogynistic themes, however, I take issue with that! The two MC's had very different ways of expressing romantic attraction and love toward others. The authors wrote this into the story very clearly! Well done!

"A" Is safe place

I different approach to finding love. Would love to know more about Claudia. A great voice characteristic of each one character and was swept in. A great listen and a great story.

A good book

This is the second book that I listen to of this couple and I liked it very much. It is very up to date flowing well. Narration was excellent

Could Have Been

really good. I loved Hope, Clare was smart and likable. Unfortunately Hope's cousin Alecia was a one note character worthy of a bad sitcom, the whole cheap, sex-crazed thirty-something woman was straight out of network television. Which brings us to Joni. What a nasty piece of work; totally self-involved, self centered and more than a little mean, Hope deserves better.

Relatable and lovely

This was an enjoyable romantic story, and as a demisexual myself, I found the depiction of this lesser-known identity very believable and relatable. I also absolutely loved the relationship between Joni's parents. The narration was excellent, as always is the case with Lori Prince.

Great combination of authors and narrator!

I really enjoyed this book. It was a great story and it kept me engaged the whole time. Characters were very likeable and the narrator was great at voicing them. Lots of LOL moments and totally empathy for Hope. I love how it all came together. just cute and feel good! Loved it. I love Lori narrating too! She just gets better and better!
