What a cute fluffy read, I had the best time listening to this on audio! I beg you if you listen to one audiobook this year let it be this one! Alex Finke did such an amazing job at telling this like a story not just someone reading off the page, there was depth and emotion behind her performance but also humor and a lightheartedness. Even when she did the male parts, they felt like their own characters not just Alex’s voice deepened. Obsessed!!

The plot of Ready or Not was so adorable and the characters argh!! The little things Shep does for Eve gave me butterflies, like the first time the baby kicked and Shep was so gentle I swear to god the butterflies and tears came out full force (mind you he isn’t baby daddy), I don’t know how many times I replayed that part. A beautiful dynamic was shown between Eve & Ethan, a change on the typical one night stand trope because Ethan had his own background and obstacles that played into the lot. Every character was well fleshed out and had vulnerabilities my god, what did Cara put into this book?! I need more!
