Okay, this is, hands-down, one of the best slow-burn, friends-to-lovers romances I’ve read, or in this case, listened to. It’s always a good bet that Claudia Burgoa is gonna take you on a fantastic journey with her characters, and this one was extra special. I was caught up from the beginning and loved everything about this love story. Due to circumstances, Nate and Nyx take their time and they become the best of friends. Nate is pretty much the perfect best friend/love interest. He’s sweet, generous, thoughtful, protective, witty, and he says the most wonderful things at just the right time. If Nyx hadn’t fallen in love with him. I was completely ready to throw my hat in the ring (just sayin’). Most of the key players in Didn’t Expect You were introduced in Wrong Text, Right Love, including our romantic couple here, so if you haven’t checked that one out, I highly recommend it. Technically, you can read this as a standalone, but you’ll want every minute you can get with this crazy bunch. Since this is the audiobook, I have to mention the wonderful narration. And just check out that list of narrators! I’d listened to most of these before, so I expected good things, and they delivered. All the feels come through loud and clear, and I was completely immersed in the story.
