I started this book months ago and could not read more than a few chapters. I was just not in the mood.
And now I listened to the audiobook in literally one sitting.
This book is something else, and it resonated with me on a level I did not expect. I did not expect to burst out crying in the middle of the book, but I did. It got even me off guard. But there are emotions in this book that take you on a roller-coaster if you emphatise with the characters and their lives.

Yes, the faking amnesia plot is a tad ridiculous and maybe a little irresponsible, but it does make a wonderful plot. And it lays the foundations of a deeply touching slow burn. Sam and Jonathan go from employee and boss to people who slightly despised each other to friends to lovers in the scope of this book, which is no small feat. But it works so well.
The small moments they share, the freaking cat, Jonathan's family, preparing for the holidays, it all comes together into a slightly hilarious, mildly infuriating (because neither Sam nor Jonathan are perfect, far from it), and deeply emotional story.
I really love it, and I'm a  it mad at myself for not picking it up sooner.

As for the narration... it's bloody amazing. The accents are spot on, and listening to the audiobook is an immersive experience.

Overall, Hall brought the humour and the romance, and I ate all of it up.
