First Comes Like by Alisha Rai
4.0
The book itself is very charming! It's fairly tame as far as romances go, and I don't mean that as a dig at the story. Just wanted to mention it because it might be a good option if you have older kids who are interested in reading romance novels.
I did run into some issues with the audiobook, though. I like that the author has the different segments of the book narrated by voice actors meant to be the two main characters. It's usually a conceit that I really find charming. Unfortunately, though, the voice actor reading the Jia side of the story pronounced the male lead character's name as "Dave" instead of "Dev" *the whole time.* It really took me out of the story to hear the voice actor reading Dev's side of the story pronouncing it correctly, and the other voice actor pronounced it completely differently. I'm familiar with the name Dev, but apparently the female voice actor was not.
