Another cute little timewaster! It's probably the best romance I've read since restarting Audible Escape, but it was still so predictable and shallow that it knocked it down from a plot I would normally have given 4 stars if I hadn't already read books exactly like this at least a dozen times before. The characters were really likable and fun, though and I enjoyed a great deal of this book. If it had only just added in a dash of originality or if Flynn had even just entertained the idea of not adhering to all the tropes she uses here.

This was sugary sweet. If you want something with low drama this is a quick read. I enjoyed the audiobook. Nothing too remarkable about this story, but it’s a great listen to between the more emotional books.

Tiny woman with a tiny hobby and a big dog fake dates a dyslexic hockey player. Finally a coupled orgasm! Can’t complete five dates.

The premise of this was really interesting, but I found the dirty talk to be cringey and not realistic to what someone would say in bed. I also found the MMC kind of bland and unlikeable. This is the first book of a series but it appears to be a spinoff because there are too many inside jokes and references and I simply don’t care enough to seek out the original book/series and delve into this world. 

There were one too many romcom shenanigans for my liking so I’m giving up at 80%

This book is so bad. There is no connection and no chemistry between characters whatsoever.

This author writes like a wattpad writer. The bad prose, excessive similes to compensate for the bad prose, bad dialogue, bad characterization, just overall bad.

3.5 stars.

The plot flowed better, a more realistic setting than Tomboy (A Hartigan Novel) by the same author. However, I got so weirded out the involvement of parents in a dating app, it’s a bit unrealistic especially when you’re MCs both don’t exactly need help in the “dating” department.

It’s light and sweet, will definitely read more of this author’s works! It’s really entertaining!
