A delicious surprise

It was a delicious surprise. I loved both main characters. They had a real personality, and they faced interesting challenges and struggles, bringing the common romcom plot to another level.

On one hand, you have Tiger, ex-beauty queen who decided to use more than her face to do good, but whom everybody thinks is stupid. On the other hand, there’s Cash, the injured football star who spent his life running away from his poor upbringing. They have a past, as friends–a relationship that was ruined by a single misunderstanding during homecoming. Reunited, they have to overcome their own shortcomings to be able to revive their past friendship. All of that felt quite real. Definitely compelling.

There’s a villain in the story. Though he’s really putting obstacles in their paths, the real opponents in the story are the characters themselves.

There were several funny moments and playful conversations. The atmosphere wasn’t too heavy despite the serious character developments. With all that plus the steamy romance, the author added two powerful messages about doing good for other people, and ignoring prejudices. And the bad guys always get what they deserve.

Both narrators were good, but I felt they didn’t exactly match the characters in the way they expressed their emotions. It wasn’t bad, but it didn’t sweep me away as much as I wanted. Still a good audiobook, missing greatness by a thread.
