Thank you to the publisher for a free Netgalley.
I loved Evie Drake Starts Over, so I was excited for this one. Predictable? Yes. Cutesy in ways? Yes. Fun? Yup! I needed this style book. A little bit heartwarming, a little funny, a little predictable, and a very likable plot.
Cecily is an absolute gem, and Eliza is quite a character. There personalities are perfect together as partners in this podcast, and though Eliza is Eliza you can't hate her. Will, as a love interest, was fine. He was probably the most lacking part for me as I just felt he was kind of 2 dimensional. But to be honest, I did not need him to be anything more. The story was about Cecily and her development.
The podcast portion is small in the sense, that this is not going to give you chapters in the podcast format. It's not that type of book. My only other "concern" was I could have used a couple more dates for Cecily in longer format.
Overall, this was enjoyable and I recommend for those who liked her previous novel!
