Cute read/listen

This was so cute! Being able to listen to the boo being read to me definitely was an experience. This is the first time I actually listened to an audio book, and my experience was very pleasant. I love the storyline, I love how the main character slowly falls in love with the guy who is supposed to be helping her get her old crush to like her again. Absolutely loved it!

Fun & Sweet Love Story

I received a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.
Story: This was such a sweet and fun love story that I truly enjoyed. Certain aspects of the "pretend relationship" and how it would turn out felt a bit predictable or obvious to me early on, but not in a bad way at all. The parts I did predict didn't necessarily happen or weren't necessarily revealed in a way I would've predicted, which made it even more interesting to me. I would have definitely enjoyed more of their love story after it ended.

Performance: I am a bit wary on how to rate the performance since this is one of my first attempts to actually rate an audiobook performance. As I feel a responsibility to be honest, it wasn't the best that I have heard but it was far from the worst. I feel as though it was less of a "performance" where there is a distinct change in voice and tone from character to character and from dialogue to text; it felt more like a straight reading that at times made it feel longer than it actually was and made it a bit more confusing to differentiate between characters and what is being said versus what is being thought. On the positive side of things, the narrator has a pleasant voice that is easy to listen to. Also, as opposed to many audiobooks I have heard, there was no obvious mispronunciation of words which I definitely always appreciate. Overall, I'd say it was good but not necessarily great.
