I adored this book! Here's why:

First, there's Cal and Row's witty banter and vulnerability. Their interactions are a delightful blend of sharp wit and raw vulnerability. Their banter crackles, and their moments of openness reveal so much. As they navigate their demons and confront their pasts, I found myself rooting for them and their necessary individual growth so they could be together.

Next, it's the audiobook magic of these narrators! Teddy Hamilton and Lila Winters breathe so much life into these characters. Hamilton’s growly voice perfectly embodies Row’s broody demeanor, while still conveying the depth of his feelings for Cal. Winters captures Cal’s sunshine personality and quirkiness, while skillfully portraying her fears and eventual growth. Both narrators brought the heat with the undeniable chemistry between Cal and Row!

Cal’s relationship with her best friend (who happens to be Row’s sister, Dylan) adds heartwarming layers. Despite their estrangement at the beginning of the book, their ride or die love for each other shines through.

And oh, the 90s nostalgia! The music references woven into the story evoke a sense of nostalgia that enhances the reading experience.

Truly, Madly, Deeply is a captivating tale of love and healing with a touch of suspense. I’m secretly hoping for a spin-off featuring Dylan—because who wouldn’t want more of this world?
