He’s head-over-heels for his co-worker, Brittney, but an embarrassing health issue keeps him from making a move.
To make matters worse, his smooth-talking boss also vies for Brittney’s affection. And if that wasn’t enough, a persistent admirer he’d rather avoid won’t leave him alone.
Until he can resolve these issues, Felix finds a unique comfort at home. Enter the secret a life-sized replica of Brittney, a sex doll he calls ‘Brightside.’ He adorns it in her style, involves it in activities she’d love, and showers it with the affection he yearns to express to the real Brittney.
In a pickle of unspoken love, office rivalry, unwanted attention, and a strangely soothing doll, Felix’s reality becomes stranger than his fantasies.

First of all: "This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review."
Silly and quirky, but pretty entertaining. The protagonist offers himself as stand-in for anyone's most mortifying experiences.
One really quirky thing was the very juvenile language to describe certain parts of the body in some instances and then very explicit descriptions of the same body parts at other times.
The audiobook narration was well done, and pleasant to listen to. Give this one a listen if you like a quirky love story.
