Very enjoyable

Listening to this book is like watching a rom-com in your head. The story was predictable but enjoyable and the narration was good too.

Two major flaws

I really wanted to like this, the premise had promise. But the author was incredibly repetitive which made the story shallow and boring. And the narrator made the love interest’s voice higher pitched than the female main character as well as squawky which is not at all romantic or sexy. And then she made the mom’s voice super deep! Made no sense.
