I’m of mixed mind about this book. It’s slow and plodding and I didn’t really connect with either character. Arden and Brody’s lack of communication (both in verbalizing and listening) despite the numerous amount of “why” throughout got to be annoying and I was glad that Sabrina Stark actually had Arden realize that maybe she should have asked something straight out rather than expecting Brody to “admit” to something. Both of them were cagey and immature and frustrating. Sabrina Stark did a good job of showing a spark between them but the execution was lacking. I wasn’t really rooting for them to succeed. I’m glad I listened until the end though since both characters pulled their heads out of the sand – finally but they still had work. This is supposed to be a romantic comedy but I didn’t laugh very much.
I received this audiobook for free from Audiobook Obsession and Pink Flamingo Productions. This is my honest and voluntary review.
