I Really Do

De: Emily K. Hardy

Narrado por: Quinn Riley

Brooke Kent hasn't spoken to a single member of her family in thirteen years.

That's all changed when her younger brother calls her to invite her to his wedding. He tells her to bring her girlfriend, partner, spouse, or the woman she hooks up with on Tuesdays; he doesn't care who, just wants her there. Brooke would be tempted to take him up on that, only she's painfully single.

When she tells her two best friends about her dilemma, they suggest that Brooke invite Anna Fourchette, the woman Brooke has been pining over for almost a year. To Brooke's surprise, Anna agrees. Can Brooke really handle a week in London dealing with her estranged family? And more importantly, can she pretend to date the woman of her dreams without falling in love for real along the way?

I Really Did love the story, characters and narration!

This was the time I have read the author. looking forward to her next book. I adore these characters. so kind to each other. Refreshing.

Steamy Anticipation, Sweet romance

Are you looking for Saffic Romance? Just buy it. Great listen. Great narration, good luck not listening to the entire thing in one sitting.

Super cute!

This was so cute! No third act break up, low angst, and a perfect amount of spice. I love how the relationship grew over the short time they were on their trip together. The healing relationship with the MCs family was heartwarming.

Cute, sometimes funny, much internal focus

I genuinely enjoyed this. Both characters are people worth knowing. Unlike many romcoms, the reasons for them to fall for each other are very evident in behavior and chemistry. A bit more of the book than normal is focused on the internal experience of the main viewpoint character, but for the most part that is all to the good.
There are a couple of outright hilarious one liners that are worth the book all on their own.
It's a heartwarming, enjoyable read with good character development and not much squick.
Quinn Riley does a good job. Every now and again she fell into a narrative pattern that didn't convey the content of what was happening, but the spoken character voices were always good, and here and there outstanding. Her delivery of the one liners I so enjoyed was freaking amazing.

Bestie Does It Again

I am in no way shape or form biased against this author. Even if she is one of my best friends. Complete, unbiased here.

This book Is all the best parts of a sapphic love story without hardly any angst. Em knows I love a good stereotype but this just blew me away.

Brooke is a dumb ass and I love her for it. Anna is a dumb ass and I love her for it. Two idiots navigating a sticky situation?

10/10 or 100/100, whatever fraction your prefer. This is it. Can’t wait for the novella!
