This was absolutely fantastic. Both as a story and as an audiobook. With the perfect combination of witty banter, British snark, and a mix of emotions from laughter to hatred to heartfelt compassion.

Gabe, the bastard of a boss who is cold and dates men who are vacuous. He doesn’t do feelings and is certainly not pedestrian enough to want to settle down and find love. But he’s met his match in the endlessly snarky and compassionate Dylan. His assistant gives as good as he gets.

You want to hate Gabe and his treatment of Dylan, constantly pulling him and then pushing him away. But it is clearly evident that Gabe is a tortured soul, terrified of emotions, and of the pain it can bring.

In a story that will make you laugh and cringe, will also make you cry and swoon in equal measure. I was getting looks on the train home as I laughed along, and more looks at work as I cried through other scenes. So word to wise, be careful if listening out in public!

I loved the ups and downs, drawing you in and then making you want to yell at someone. And the friends and family in this are incredible, best friends Jude and Henry, and Dylan’s family, they all played such a wonderful role in helping these two figure themselves out.

Joel Leslie was perfect as the narrator of this book.
