I’m beginning to wonder if these ladies are playing a game of booktok bingo romantasy edition. Just trying to hit every possible stereotype and micro genre that has ever been done. It’s painful. I’m also wondering if the narrators are making the experience worse? Perhaps physical read may feel less gross? The female narrator is so desperate and breathy and the male one punctuates every other word angrily.

I took a break from listening to the audiobook. It’s fucking terrible. The narrators are full on voice acting and they are pushing the characters to extremes. Ferris is a bad baller b*tch if the female narrator is to be believed and Hendrix is the worst alpha in the history of romance ever when you listen. I opened the book to switch to reading and it’s night and day difference. Not that it’s good, but better.

Jesus Christ this is terrible! The narration is absolutely making it worse but even without that these characters are so childish! I am still reading since I bought the book for a book club event but wow. It’s not batter, it’s disgusting childish spats. Punctuated by lust. It’s really gross. I’m wondering if it’s because there’s 2 authors and maybe they’d do better as an author/editor relationship?
