About this listen

There are three things you need to know about Elizabeth Finney: 1) She suffers from severe sarcastic syndrome, especially when she's unnerved, 2) No one unnerves her like Nico Manganiello, and 3) She knows how to knit.

Elizabeth Finney is almost always right about everything: the musical merits of boy bands are undervalued by society, "benefits" with human Ken dolls are better without friendship, and the sun has set on her once-in-a-lifetime chance for true love. But when Elizabeth's plans for benefits without friendship are disarmed by the irritatingly charismatic and chauvinistic Nico Manganiello- her former nemesis- she finds herself struggling to maintain the electric fence around her heart while avoiding electrocution or, worse, falling in love.

Overly engineered

I almost heard the clunking mechanisms that kept the protagonists apart. It didn't help that the flimsy, poorly explained reasons she kept her distance from Nico seemed to keep changing and were all fairly silly. I didn't feel connected to the main character at all and never really got a sense of who she was. Such a shame, because I really enjoyed the first book in this series.

Great audiobook

I enjoyed this from the beginning to the end. I love the characters I thought a part of it I laughed I cried I was totally involved right to the end. Excellent

Not a complex listen, but sometimes overly emotional. Got tired of Pantie Party realvquick ... who actually does that .. ?? But didn't get through the 2nd epilogue because suddenly Nico had a very un-italian accent. Bit of a mistake there.
