I received a digital copy of this audiobook from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This is a friends to lovers romance about (to borrow a phrase from the podcast Heaving Bosoms) two hot dummies (and I mean that affectionately) who are obviously hopelessly in love with each other but shove those feelings down to “preserve their friendship” and focus on career (Lizzy) and family (Jack).
However they both come to realize that their prior goals and focus are no longer as fulfilling or appropriately fitting as previously.
They come to the realization that they need a new life focus and so much the better if that involves more time together even if they are “just friends”.
Also independent bookstores.
And just like when finding the culprit in a mystery, their next steps provide means, motive and opportunity. (I may be listening to too many true crime podcasts.)
This story features Asian American (Korean) leads to provide some much needed diversity in the romance genre. Familiar concept of heroine named Lizzy/Elizabeth favoring Jane Austen and Pride and Prejudice in particular. Solid performance by the narrator.
4/5
