I received a digital copy of this audiobook from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This book was everything I want in a contemporary rom com and a few things I didn’t know I needed.
Our hero is a huge hot landscaper with an awesome blended family of parents and siblings including a brother tackling the milestone of fully coming out in a small town (however I was glad to see no trauma attached to this). He was refreshingly intuitive without being overly perfect, not commitment phobic and accompanied by a hilarious adorable pit bull named Kevin.
Our heroine has had a tough journey and pulled herself up by the bootstraps figuratively and literally. Making her way in the world flipping houses and filming it all for YouTube, doing as much of the work herself as possible.
The winding path of the mysterious past of both our heroines journey that has led her to this house and also the house itself unfolds in a way that is captivating and poignant. We uncover her past trauma that has made her the way she is and the secret inner life of the founding family of this grand home. I love a found family theme. Also there’s a treasure hunt. Who knew I needed that in a rom com?
Trigger warnings - parent death in the past, estranged parent, estranged half siblings, attempted hetero relationship when one partner is not actually hetero, coming out in a small town (it goes fine though).
Great book, awesome narration, perfect sound quality. 5/5
