Publisher's summary

He is the one that never looks her way.

He is handsome and strong.

He is rough around the edges and mean.

He is everything she’s ever wanted.

He doesn’t even know she exists.

Her life is a joke.

She doesn’t step on cracks in the sidewalk.

She laughs at inappropriate times.

She talks when she shouldn’t.

She is clumsy and trips on air.

She is finally on his radar.

God help her now.

Hissy Fit

I was recommended this book and I was honestly surprised there was a book by Lani Lynn Vale I hadn’t listened to yet. She is a favorite author of mine.

This book was so unlike any of her other ones and I LOVED every last second of it.
I loved Raleigh and Ezra, they really go through a lot to get to where they end up and I loved that they both worked at their relationship.

Ezra is that boy you crushed on in high school the one that never knew you existed.
And Raleigh is the shy awkward girl who was invisible until she wasn’t. I just loved their story.

Great narration, seriously these two narrators were perfect for these particular characters.
I want more in this series!

How did he not know who she was?!!

Ugh. There was so much wrong with this book that it was really hard for me to really like it. I could NOT get past the fact that they grew up in the same small Texas town, went to the same high school where he played football with her brother, now work at said high school.... yet Ezra didn’t know Raleigh’s name?

The speed in which they went from him not knowing who she was to Ezra being completely smitten with him gave me whiplash. And their first time together? The dude doesn’t even woo her. I felt like it was almost borderline assault, the way he took it upon himself to rid her of her V card while they were in lockdown during a tornado.

And her klutzy schtick got real old. The first few times it was cute, but then I just rolled my eyes every time there was another accident.

The performance, though, was great. Despite the lacks in the storyline, Ava Erickson and Jacob Morgan did a fantastic job with the material.

I kept waiting to figure out why this book is titled Hissy Fit. And the realization never came. Raleigh gets cranky about his past fling with another teacher (whom she can’t even call by name!) but doesn’t pitch a fit about it. Speaking of that teacher... Ew. That subplot where she was bedding a student I didn’t think was necessary.

Unfortunately, Hissy Fit wasn’t for me.

Editing Errors

The only major thing that I need to complain about, and I’m surprised no one else has mentioned it, was the fact that chapter 18 and chapter 19 were swapped in the recording. Made it very confusing and annoying to listen to.

I loved this book!!

The humor often had me laughing until I cried. It has a great storyline, which was sometimes sweet but also touched on some unfortunately true situations.

Amazing Read

This series is very different from her usual series, but I've enjoyed it so far. Although the narrators are different from the regular ones that I'm really crazy about, but they did okay. Love anything by Lani Lynn Vale, she's just that amazing.

The one reason this gets stars is the narration

There is literally no conflict that actually drives the characters. Their arch is like a little speed bump causing very little actual change. I'm all about fluffy romance books, but this one had to be the most boring one to listen to. And the female protagonist kinda pisses me off. She feels emotions in like two extremes and goes back and forth in three seconds. One second shes incredibly happy, the next she's completely pissed, then she's happy again.
Also, did they just like fall in love from sex? I don't get it. There's no lead up to it. Where's the woo-ing?
Lastly, writers need to learn the issue with repetitious wording. Come on, guys. It's basic stuff. Don't repeat the same actions and adjectives in consecutive sentences unless it's for effect.

Good narration, though. They did the best they could with the material they were given.

Ezra + Raleigh = all the heart eyes!

5 Accidental Stars

Raleigh Crusie has been in love with Ezra McDuff since high school. She’s also been invisible to him this whole time...until she’s not. Literally falling at the feet of the man is one to get him to notice her, and notice her he does. Ezra is the local football hero, turned high school coach that everyone lusts after. He never really paid attention to one of the newest teachers at the school until she falls at his feet and he drops his box of condoms on her face.

I loved the flow of this book and how adorkable Raleigh really is. Accident prone is an understatement! But, I love how Ezra just goes with the flow and is there to catch her when she does fall, which is often lol. There is so much growth throughout this story as well as lots of life lessons. Classic LLV humor, with a touch of suspense and the witty banter I’ve come to love between her beloved characters. There were many subjects touched on that I felt LLV did justice in bringing the seriousness to life. No spoilers...you’ll just have to read and find out for yourself. Great start to what looks like another great series from Lani Lynn Vale. The narrators really hit this one out of the park.

Started strong, ended weird

I really loved this book from the start. The characters and how they interacted with each other was great. But then towards the end when it started time jumping things felt rushed and I wish there was more to the story. It was she gave hints that certain things were going to happen but at the end gave up and quickly gave resolution to it. The epilogue was weird too. Not needed at all. Narration was great, love Ava and Jacob together.

Was worth a credit to me

This story was great. There were a couple scenes that were heavily foreshadowed but when something finally happened it was less climactic then I expected. It's okay though. Some people prefer it that way. The only thing I disliked was some weird time jumps.

Example: ***SPOILERS AHEAD*** So this disabled kid gets bullied at school and our heroine jumps to his defense. Then the coach benches the entire team for being bullies and laughing etc. It's a big deal basically. Then a couple chapters later (I'm thinking a few days or weeks have gone by) Our heroine makes a comment on the bullying that happened "this morning". I'm thinking wasn't that a couple days ago?
Also, she breaks her arm near the end of the school year. Then the next chapter is the first day of the next school year and she comments on getting her cast removed last week (or some similarly short time period) I was like wait, so she had a cast on her arm for the entire summer? I know its possible to have a cast on for up-to 12 weeks but her break wasn't that bad.
Anyway, other than that, loved the story!

waste of time and money

couldn't even get through chapter 7. this is about two adult teachers yet the female talks like a 15 year old girl who's having a relationship with her first boyfriend. female saying "I can't believe my crush is talking to me" "I'm at the home of my crush, I am going to lose it when I get home" constantly referring to him as her crush. this mentality is of a teenager not a intelligent woman. it happens so often that I couldn't even get through chapter 7 because it was so annoying.
