This was a fun one. When I first saw it, without reading the blurb, I thought it was a memoir. It is not so and I appreciate the author's note. Listening to it on audio is definitely the way to go. It was engaging and heartwarming and had a storyline that drew you in. It was multi-dimensional and has developed characters. I absolutely love Blah Blah. It was cheesy and predicable at parts, but still enjoyable.

Such an interesting story - great insight into the world of audiobook narration and I loved how the relationship between the love interests gradually evolved. Really enjoyable listen!

3.0

there were parts i liked and parts i didn’t like. it was an average read for me and i honestly don’t feel like dissecting all that i disliked in a review. if you like emily henry’s writing, you may like this?? idk, it’s more of contemporary fiction with a romance subplot but there were just too many subplots going on for me. 

disability rep: missing eye, facial trauma

I had a lot of fun with this book. It feels very Emily Henry-esque, and while it doesn't achieve the same level of quality, it still really works. I love the pastiche on the genre and the complex relationship with her family, friend, and career. I wish there was slightly more time spend with the three identities silliness, but overall lots of fun.
