Well written story and erotic scenes.
Revisado: 08-01-18
One of the reasons I really liked this story was the erotic scenes. In most erotica the male lead is an dominant alpha male bordering on A-Hole personality disorder, but not in this story. Instead the hero is a caring male that expresses himself by his actions. His dominance is a part of his personality that he slides into when the situation calls for that type of response. Reynolds has well developed characters that are not plug-in dominant hero/submissive heroine. Her female lead is a reluctant leader that takes on the jobs no one else wants to do because they need to be done. She has insecurities that many women in relationships can identify with. The world she finds herself in is restructuring itself in the same way she is also changing. They both become harder, more decisive.
The intimate scenes were tender, loving and consentual. They were also red-hot. The first starts out a slow burn that builds to a bonfire. Subsequent scenes change it up as in any long-term relationship. Sometimes they're dirty and quick and other times cover an entire afternoon. The approaches and positions vary also. I appreciate Reynolds writing an erotic tale in which the hero asks for consent. It flowed well in the scene and was sexy. I find the whole subtext that "No" doesn't really mean no if the heroine is saying it very disturbing. Reynolds takes consent to "Yes, Yes, Yes!"
The book was well written with a very realistic beginning to the story. I would like to listen to more of this tale. Reynolds had many characters that I want to hear more about like Charles or how baby Michelle grows up. It would be interesting to follow the tales of the characters at the conventions who gave talks as survival zombie experts.
The narrator did a very good job as well. She had distinct voices for each character. She did well as both male and female voices. She put a lot of inflection in her voice. The reading was fluid and easy on the ear. She expressed emotion well without being over the top. Both the author and narrator created a wonderful story I would listen to again. Actually, I have listened to it twice already.

Amazing

I met Felicia Day when she was on another round of book tours. I didn't know a lot about her background but I loved everything she has been in. I read the book and loved it. Then someone told me that Felicia narratored her own book. I rushed over here and bought this version. Another layer is added because of it, to hear all her true-self cadence go over to neurotic and self worrying parts and the unyielding happiness is soul touching. I am really glad I was able to go on this trip of self fulfilment and understanding through this book.
