I received a digital copy of this audiobook from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
First of all the narrators were just perfect seriously I could not have asked for anything more.
This is my first experience with this author. Fellow sharks of awesome (Penny Reid Fans) will love that our meet cute is instigated by a raccoon. I won’t go into any details but trust me it works.
Our hero is the ideal cinnamon roll - big, strong, manly, sweet, handy, a good cook, humble, thoughtful, good with his hands, need I go on?
Our heroine is coming out of a long term emotionally abusive relationship and is continuing to heal through therapy and self empowerment. Despite having legit reasons for self confidence her environment has made her especially susceptible to emotional abuse.
There is a side character who experiences physical as well as emotional abuse - so trigger warning. Additional trigger warnings - family drama, teenage/not there parent, classism, difficult home birth, PTSD, small town vs big city, peer pressure, rich snobbery (not from anyone we like).
Medium steam, open door but not terribly explicit. Character and plot driven. I definitely laughed out loud many times while listening. I would categorize as a contemporary romantic dramedy because there are some heavier subjects. However it didn’t feel as heavy to me personally while listening as it sounds while I reflect but I also don’t key into any of these triggers. That being said - phenomenal book. Loved it. I would love to see more of this town! 5/5
