T--why is that? In a good way or a bad way? I've been debating whether or not to put it on my library hold list.

Renee, It's mostly my own issues. 1.) the hype over the book had my expectations through the roof, 2.) I started out listening and even though it was the usually amazing Julia Whelan, I felt like she wasn't using the right intonations, inflections, and emotions for the heroine. I think it kind of ruined the first part of the book for me. It was still good, but it didn't have the spark I was expecting.
The romance definitely got swoony and I really enjoyed the story overall, but I'm still on the fence about my rating. Probably 4 stars, at the least. I think you'll enjoy it, especially now that you know not to have super high expectations like me. Lol.

T--okay, thanks! When the number of holds start dwindling, I'll put it on hold at the library. If I do it now, I'll end up deleting it when something that I can get more quickly comes into the picture. I can "only" put 10 books on hold at once, after all! 😂
