I really enjoyed the subject matter here - I loved that the pair bonded over Jakeโ€™s daughter, and that Sarah Adams wrote in the realities of epilepsy to her two characters. I didnโ€™t even mind that there was only a small amount of spice - it was all very well written and left a smile on my face.

The narrators, Rusty Mewha and Leanne Woodward, were a great duo. I loved the playful banter between the characters, and thought Rusty Mewha did a great job with Jakeโ€™s emotional moments.
