3.5 – This review is specifically for the audiobook, which is narrated by Joel Leslie.
As always, Joel Leslie does a lovely job, especially when narrating a book set in England. One of his particular skills is making his female characters actually sound female. I always enjoy his pleasant narration.
This is a fake marriage/forced proximity book, which I always love, between boos/employee. One of the MCs, Jed, is the owner of the wedding business and also a widower grieving his loss for years.. The other MC is Artie, his assistant, who has been pining for Jed for ages. I thought the tropes were good, especially once the fake marriage turns into fake husbands with benefits, but I wasn’t a huge fan of sooooo much mention of the dead husband for sooooo much of the book. Daisy was a cute side character. The paper flowers that Jed made for Artie were so thoughtful and cute – one of my fave details in the book.
