Not much substance

It was so hard to like the FMC - the author had her repeating the same mistakes, not ever thinking of other’s feelings to where it was not believable that someone could be so shallow. It’s difficult for me to like a story with so little character development.

Every girl deserves a Harley!

Overall I really enjoyed this. I thought the voice actors were perfect matches for the characters, but felt that their delivery felt a little flat in spots. I really wish there was a bit more emotion and expressiveness during certain parts of the story. I was thoroughly obsessed with how obsessed the MMC is with the FMC. So sweet. Most of the tension of the book could've been avoided if the FMC wasn't slightly insufferable and indecisive throughout. But, happpy with their HEA regardless. Quick listen.
