Thanks to NetGalley for an early copy of this audiobook. Below is my honest review.

Nina’s ex broke up with her and emailed 12 reasons she is doomed to ruin every relationship she has/will ever have. Afterwards, Nina runs away from everyone in her life except her Aunt Lorna. She wants to protect them from herself.

Three years later, Nina is just trying to muddle through her life without causing others pain. She is working at a talent agency writing emails on behalf of actors. Ari Fox, an up and coming queer actor, wants to meet about her emails. Nina has a huge crush on Ari and is a huge fan, too. Thankfully, Ari isn’t upset with Nina’s work, she just wants her emails to sound more authentic. So, Nina and Ari start hanging out. At the same time, Nina runs into an old friend. Will Nina make up with her friends and fall for Ari? Or will she ruin everything like her ex predicted?

This book was a joy to read. There is wonderful queer and plus size representation. The two MCs are funny and likable. Nina’s struggles are completely relatable and well done. I really enjoyed seeing her growth throughout the story. The secondary characters are well rounded and so fun. (Here’s looking at Aunt Lorna! An Aunt Lorna spin-off is absolutely needed.) I laughed several times and didn’t want to stop reading this audiobook.

Also, the narrator did an exceptional job.

This Sapphic celebrity romance started off soooo strong! I was truly rooting for the two MCs to find their HEA but then the story draaaaaaaaged so much in the middle I just kept wishing for the end to come. That said, it did have great found family relationships, amazing Fat rep and a believable and heartwarming slow burn romance. Good on audio and recommended for fans of I kissed a girl by Jennet Alexander or Something to talk about by Meryl Wilsner. Much thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early digital and audio copy in exchange for my honest review!
