My only issue is with John Lane and his penchant to pronounce the -ES at the end of a word like -IES. John Lane and Tatiana Sokolov both were fantastic. I especially appreciated the epilogue with the texts seeing as that was their beginning. I sped it up to 1.25 through the middle when it was lagging but after 3/4 of the way through, I was completely hooked again and couldn't wait to finish. That being said, it's totally worth a listen. To have it be such a prominent theme of the book when there was so many other amazing things going on, it felt redundant and disingenuous. I think it could have been dealt with once and then we could have moved on. However, a good 1/4 of the book was repetitive in nature with this theme. I can understand not having self confidence and, after having it beat into your head your whole life, having a hard time believing differently when you meet someone who sees you as you truly are. The part that I had took issue with was the main female character. There was drama, hot romance, humor, action, sweet love. Melanie Moreland took such a simple idea of neighbors meeting over the fence and added so many interesting layers that I just loved it. When I think about this audiobook, I will forever think of it fondly and will most likely listen to it again at some point.
