📖This book was truly a delight from beginning to end! I don’t think you’ll be seeing any 1-star reviews for 1-STAR ROMANCE! This was just announced as a June Book of the Month (BOTM) pick! How exciting!

⭐This was my first book by Laura Hankin and not only did she write a uniquely fun book, but she also narrated the audiobook flawlessly.

📖Imagine being the maid-of-honor at your BFF’s wedding and realizing that the best man you’re walking down the aisle with is the same man who recently gave your novel a one star Goodreads review. The audacity! Natalie could just let it go and move on, but she doesn’t and now she’s forced into situation after situation where she reluctantly (but also maybe not so reluctantly ;)) has to spend scads of time with Robert, AKA the 1-star reviewer.

⭐While this still has the easy breezy feel of a rom-com there were heavier things happening which really add a lot of depth to the story and made me care more about the characters.

📖I did think the friendship between the two female main characters Gabby and Natalie was slightly toxic and overly co-dependent especially on Natalie’s side, but also that could just be me wanting to run away from obsessively clingy friends! I could also argue that it was written this way to help with some character self-discovery along the way.

🎧I LOVED that the audiobook was narrated by the author! Usually I get a little worried when I see that that it won’t be as professionally done, but this was PERFECTION on audio!! Laura Hankin is a woman of many talents 👏

⭐Overall, this was definitely one I’ll be recommending!

❓What are you currently reading and would it make a good movie?
