My Thoughts:

This was an enjoyable audiobook. I like Wes and Bethany. Their insta-lust romance, while sudden, was fun, endearing, and had some depth. I liked Bethany’s journey towards overcoming her anxiety but I know it would take a lot more than 2 weeks to work through this. Wes was also so unconditionally supportive of Bethany and provided her with a safe space to land. They were cute together.

Wes and his niece were super freaking cute. He might not have been her dad but he was giving daddy energy.
