I liked this better than Rafe and was able to immerse myself in the story more easily. I loved the bisexual representation in Xeni and Mason and that both of them were larger. I’ve just discovered Rebekah Weatherspoon, but am loving the representation in the two books I’ve read so far. Will definitely read more.

I really liked this story, and I particularly liked the couple. They had great chemistry together and their banter was top notch. Mason had my type humor so I enjoyed him as a character a lot. And their scenes together were pretty hot (p3gging anyone?!?). That said, I think there were some pacing issue, and I wish we had gotten to know the characters better. I feel like we get some semi-superficial version of them, and that might be because both are going through a lot, but it left me wanting to know more about them. I also disliked Xeni's family and how much of a push over she was when it came to them. She had every right to be upset, and I felt like her family was gaslighting her, and getting mad at her for being rightfully mad. I would have liked some groveling from her mother. 

I enjoyed the audiobook, especially the Scottish accent.

Omggg one of those romance books that I now wanna go out and buyyyy 
Omg probably a favorite now - so good I loved them so much and of course gotta go read Rafe now 
Edit on 7/17: interestingly as much as I apparently loved this at the time I remember literally nothing about this book lol idk why i guess it just didn’t leave an impression on me? So I’m changing it to a 4 star cause I remember literally nothing but idk maybe I’ll go back and reread at some point cause apparently I loved this

This was a good time! We follow Xeni as she travels to her aunt’s funeral only to find that her aunt’s dying wish will upend her life. Mason was a good friend of Xeni’s aunt and gets roped into the shenanigans. I had a really nice time reading their story and watching them fall for each other in this unconventional manner.
