Funny, poignant, and hot!

favorite of the series so far! you'll definitely enjoy it more if you've read the other books in the series first, but it's not strictly necessary.

A little slow but very cute

Revisado: 12-19-24

Took a little to get into, but definitely a cute and cozy romcom that I liked by the end. I appreciated the author's positive and respectful treatment of queer and alternative characters while also keeping the story realistic that there's still a lot of fear and misinformation on the world, and people still learning about themselves over time.

The narrators were good overall, but did pause in weird places that made it sometimes feel disjointed. While not a story I'll come back to over and over in my brain, I liked reading it.

a perfect, cozy plus-sized romance 😍

Revisado: 10-08-24

Declan & Kelsey are my favorite pairing so far. Fake-grumpy cinnamon-roll-who-will-kill-you falls first and hard for sunshine cinnamon roll who is learning she's as badass as she wants to be. with weenie dog sidekick perfection. *chef's kiss*

Great resource

Revisado: 05-08-24

A lot of my own experiences as a late diagnosed neurodivergent human was reflected in this book. Some of it was very painful, but some of it was validating in a way that bordered on funny at times. It's not perfect, nothing ever is, but I like how Devon really tried to make this a comprehensive synthesis that covered the intersectionality of experiences with autism.

Another home run

Interesting, funny, and great look at what makes a villain today. The villain of my villain is a hero...ish. If you ignore all the murder.

4.5 rounded up

Revisado: 02-03-24

Parts of this story did get a bit slow, but overall it was an engaging story. Definitely more coming of age than romance, though there is a HFN. Gives an interesting look into DeafBlind life as well as interpreter professionalism vs. ethics and the place of human connection in professions like interpreting.

Neurodivergent FMC in Academia HEA FTW

Revisado: 07-06-23

Though not explicitly stated to be neurodivergent, the FMC definitely fits the bill of some of the common neurodivergent types who are drawn to academia for any number of reasons. It was very refreshing it have some of the very common experiences, not only with romance as a neurodivergent person, but also that we deal with in academia be put into a story and dealt with... not always well, but realistically.

This will absolutely be a story I listen to over and over again.

Good but not plot heavy

Revisado: 06-08-23

if you're looking for a book that is overall more spice than plot (in a good way!), this should be your jam. There is some plot, don't get me wrong, but none of the angst parts last more than a few minutes, nothing is extended over the course of the book really. Lots of spice, not a lot of details on the life outside that gets them there, and no secondary story/plot until very close to the end. Great for an unwinding read after work, definitely not sad about it. Just want you to know what you're getting!

DND 2 of 5

Revisado: 04-24-23

And struggled to finish a 3rd.

This collection seems to have been put together because they were books that struggled individually for different reasons.

A Stone in the Sea was hard to finish, didn't really catch my attention with all the unnecessary angst. even the cliffhanger ending wasn't enough to make me want to find the 2nd book in the series.

intention was fine. Not crazy memorable, but I made it through without struggling.

DNF On My Way to You. The author obviously doesn't understand a lot of the cities she's having them start or road trip through, and it really pulled me out of the story.

Hero was good but a little longer than it needed to be. Was honestly the redeeming book for this anthology though. Good characters, appropriate angst for the situations.

DNF Meghan's book only because the female narrator thinks this is a breathless Victorian romance and it's too annoying to keep listening to.

Not the worst, but not the best.

Revisado: 03-18-23

Honestly, struggled to finish this one (part 4) and the one before it. The mystery was the more intriguing part, but only maybe 15% of the story. The main characters kind of fell flat for me and the story dragged on. instead of a rollercoaster, it felt more like thinking going down a steep hill is akin to a roller coaster. Narrators we're great as always.
