The Assignment by Penelope Ward

4.0

Overall I really enjoyed this Audible listen. Andi and Sebastian always do a wonderful reading. This was angsty, funny, sexy and sweet. The spicy scenes were both hot and funny. I loved the passion and I also loved how Troy couldn’t hold back for long (if you know what I mean) but always made sure Aspyn got hers.

At first the grudges from high school were annoying. I was kind of like just get over it. BUT some heavy life altering things happened to them that changed the course of their lives and they became inadvertent intertwined.

Aspyn and Troy complimented each other so well even when bickering. They functioned on the same wave length most of the time and could match energy. Both were good people trying to get by the best they could. Neither was looking for anything but ended up finding more purpose in their own lives.

The addition of Kiki was so cute. The fact that the unicorn was named Menses killed me! And the sex convo was hilarious. The period at 8 1/2 was so so young but it is a reality for many young girls so no point in being weirded out. Besides it gave a good opportunity to see Troy as a caretaker.

I also think Ashlyn was an incredibly kind and heart felt person. Taking care of the elderly in any capacity takes an enormous amount of patience and understanding. She cared deeply for Mr. Serrano, as well as the rest of the patients at the care home.
