I know these are aimed at YA and I'm 40, but I am so invested in this storyline and these characters. The narrator is fantastic!

Great characters, easy to listen to. A few moments when the side characters were annoying, but overall good, fun listen.

And although it was predictable, it was enjoyable to listen to. Definitely not for anyone who hates sex scenes and smut, I'd say at least 60 % of this is sex, possibly more. But it was an easy listen and you find yourself really rooting for them both.

Only got half way through episode 1. I think on general the performances were good, and the premise may have been ok, but every 5 seconds there's a musical interlude that was entirely unnecessary and completely ruins any flow. It was all a bit too haphazard and irritating.

I am a fan of Penny Reid and of Jethro Winston, so I was disappointed that I found this story a bit dull. I felt like it dragged and lacked any really oomph. I struggled to like the female lead, but that may have been down to the narrator. Sometimes she was spot on, but a lot of the time she was montone and a bit robotic, with intonation in odd places or not at all. I was disappointed to hear she is also the narrator in Folking around. There was definitely too much focus on their physical connection, and their relationship actually felt like it lacked depth. Still funny though! Penny Reid is always funny!

i thought I'd hate this, that it would drag on, I'd hate the guy, the girl would annoy me and I'd roll my eyes a lot. And I did, in parts. But overall, I realised I couldn't stop listening, was desperate for them to be together and was entirely engaged in their absurd story. I was turned on, swept up and wistfully rooting for them. loved it.

I love the characters she's created, and it genuinely made me laugh and smile. Glad I spent the credit and will likely re-listen at some point.

The first half was all hot tension, but some of the stuff at the end was too sickly. Definite concerns over MMC and his lack of respect for boundaries and her autonomy, even if his intentions were good. The narrator sounds like ai, and the intonation was really off in places. Also, when listening on headphones, it's particularly painful when, in a softz quiet moment, she suddenly gets really loud and sharp in a way that doesn't fit what's going on at all! But overall, it was a decent listen.

Easy going, nothing particularly gripping or unexpected, a little bit sickly sweet sometimes. Narrator does a good job, although has some odd intonation in places.

2nd in the series. Perfectly nice to listen to. Predictable, and although I liked the main characters, I found the surrounding relationships more interesting. Easy listening.
