voluntarily listened and reviewed an advanced copy of this audiobook. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Simone Alexander quits her job and allows her magic 8 ball to help her decide if she should enroll in law school. Unprepared and unsure are the things that Simone struggles with in the beginning of the book. Meeting Silas the attraction is instant. But Simone’s struggles in school and the fact that Silas is what’s known as a sharpshooter she struggles to control her grades and her budding relationship with him.

At the beginning I did find Simone as irritating. Silas was clearly feeling her from the first meet and she just kept friend zoning him. I loved Silas. Hey was supportive, smart, funny, and when he let his little jealousy show I ate it up. The man flew across country because he felt like she need a hug. What else could you want. Pure swoon worthy actions only. 4.5/5 ⭐️ only because Simone was irking in the beginning.

The narrator in this book was ok for me. I did wish that the narrator would’ve changed their voice a little while speaking as Silas and the other characters . Although that did not happen I still enjoyed it.

Thank you RB Media, Recorded Books and Net Galley for the opportunity to read this ebook in exchange for an honest review.

I DNFd at 30% the premise was cute but the execution was not working for me.

The FMC was a little frustrating with her quoting being a chef and going to law school on sort of a whim and then not realizing how hard it would be. In this economy who the hell is going to throw money away like that and not really realize how hard law school would be.

But outside of that there were some word choices that were a bit uncomfy and the exchange with her not thinking that the MMC was Black because he was lighter skinned. I mean it’s addressed and colorism is alive and well but it just felt frustrating.

The premise of this book caught my eye attention as a women in my late 20s myself who is in the midst of figuring out my career path and whether I should change it but unfortunately this one didn't work out for me.

Truthfully, I DNFed this one.

I didn't love Simone even though I really wanted too. She was very judgmental and completely clueless about the needs of law school (which I understand going to law school was a last minute decision but no research?). I also didn't really feel like Simone and Silas clicked. There wasn't much chemistry between them as a basis of their relationship which made it difficult to root for them as a couple.

Thank you to Netgalley and Entangled Publishing for providing me with an ARC of You've Been Served.

Unfortunately this story wasn’t for me. I found it very hard to connect to the main character because of the offensive and overly judgmental inner monologue.

Thank you to NetGalley and RB Media for the advanced copy.

Simone Alexander depends on her magic 8 ball from her childhood to help her make big decisions and this time, it is sending her to law school on the other side of the country. She gets there and has not prepared like the other students, but with the help of friends, specifically Silas who has a big crush on her, she makes it just fine. She is determined to prove to everyone that she is meant to be there.

This cute story had it all, romance, sass, and struggle. I felt that at times the storyline was forced, but I personally loved the banter between Silas and Simone. He gave her the space she asked for, but let her know that he was still there. The law school auction was a cute piece and I loved how Silas stood up to his mom and defended Simone. Such an easy, lighthearted read!

DNF @30%

The synopsis sounded fun and lighthearted, but the execution is missing the mark. This book honestly feels like a bunch of random thoughts jumbled together. Also, really tired of the “you don’t look Black, so you must be mixed”’assumption when someone meets a person who is light skinned. Yes, this is called out and addressed, but it’s still annoying.

Thank you NetGalley and RB Media for the free ALC in exchange for honest review. I enjoyed the narration but doesnt feel like anything happened? Is it just me the cover mafe me request thiabone so quick and not sure if anything went on?

Really enjoyed this sweet romance. Started with a very sassy Simone changing up her life’s trajectory after she spontaneously quit her position as a chef and out of the blue decided to go to law school. She goes through the struggles we all faced when we something new and scary with no idea if that’s what we want to do or if we’ll be good at it. On top of that stress she has a new guy who’s Madly in love with her and she has to figure out if she can balance dating with law school.
