Publisher's summary

Life sucks.

Gabe Harris has been clued into this fact for a long time now. In his mid-twenties, life has been nothing but low paying jobs, petty power-tripping bosses, and the worst roommates mankind has to offer. Bills, debt, and misery have haunted him for his entire adult life and, to make matters worse, it feels like his dream of being a writer is dead on arrival.

One fateful night, he decides to take control of his life and make his dream a reality. Diving into the strange world of online writing soon yields results, enough that he can move into his own place, even if it's a terrible studio apartment. As he finishes moving and prepares to pursue the life of a successful writer by any means necessary, the world throws something completely unexpected his way.

Ellen, a six foot five blonde goddess and former coworker, abruptly reenters his life as her own seemingly perfect existence is collapsing. When the two begin reconnecting, things start getting heated, and Gabe quickly learns that being a successful writer isn't the only thing he wants.

Enjoyable read with a tad of complaining

Now the Story isn't anything crazy most of it is really the characters talking and developing their relationship which I quite enjoy, but they do complain quite a bit about, politicians, the rich, corportations etc which shows them off as more negative people, going off on rants about how the rich or evil politicians control it all, but if you're able to withstand those moments there is a pretty solid relationship building story here and in depth character that all have dreams and Insecurities that made them feel real.

Interesting

I enjoyed this story. I can relate a lot to what they were saying about corporate lives, parents and such. I love how they didn't make those negative feeling stop then from living their lives. listen to in and put yourself in their shoes.

Relationship Goals

This could be a primer on direct, respectful and open communication in a relationship. Someone did their research and it’s beautiful.

Positive & Safe Sexual Themes

Great book, was fun to read! Language and writing stood out as it felt like these were real people going through real issues in our modern society. The characters showed great development throughout the story, and embodied sex is a very safe & positive way with a huge emphasis on consent.
The narration was also clear and amazing. You are able to tell who is who simply by the way each character spoke.
The ending was a great setup for the next book in the series. I can't wait to get it started!

So good

Really great slice of life. It’s a little slow at the start but picks up really fast and I couldn’t stop listening.
Great progression, excellent harem elements.
Melanie does a fantastic job with all the characters.
Top notch series. Misty is one of my favorites.

Really enjoyed it.

It was great to listen to a book like this and it not some magical or super sci fi. A relationship between people trying to honestly deal with their shortcomings. Great story and can't wait to listen to the next one. The narration was very good also.

Excellent

The characters were likable and believable in their interactions, especially our main couple of Gabe and Ellen. The slice of life and social commentary both hits home and feels natural. Finally the narrator does an excellent job. Hope to listen to the next book soon.
