I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it is well written and well told with interesting storylines that captivated my mind from start to end. The characters are complex and well developed. The two main characters are Babu (Troy Babilonia) a book reviewer/blogger with a weekly column and Larson Blackburn the author of a book Babu slams. The two exchange heated words via email escalating their situation and hate for each other. I really got a kick out of some of those messages, two grown men acting like children. LOL! These two are interesting characters, both hotheaded, high strung alphas so going head to head via email just does not cut it and Larson makes the first move to find out who is behind the name Babu. I loved the back and forth between these two, before and after they meet. I had mixed feelings about Babu, liked him, didn’t like him but the more I learned about him he started to grow on me, it sucked what he had to endure when he was a boy. But he finally gets his awakening, does it make him a better person, doubt it, but at least he is happier. I felt back for Larson, between getting slammed by a reviewer and then the accusations thrown his way, it could be a tough go for anyone. There is some great plotting here and I love how this story played out. This story has it all, there is plenty of drama, angst, humor and some hot romance, the scene in the elevator was smoking. I adored Ida Whatley and her Muffy, I’d love to have a neighbor just like her. Thank you Andrea Smith & Eva LeNoir for this great and entertaining story.
I listened to the Audible edition, Joel Leslie is a wonderful narrator and voice performer. He brought these characters to life, gave each their own voice and personality. He switch roles effortless and was great with the back and forth banter. I loved his take on Ida, she sounded just as I pictured her. He is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to.
