I first heard about this book and put the audiobook version on hold back in September of 2019... I finally got the notification that I'd gotten it May 10th, 2020. I have NO idea why it took the library so long - there were 50+ copies and you're not able to renew - but I'm glad to have finally got it. Cherise Boothe did a great job as narrator and it elevated the whole thing.

'I Was Told It Would Get Easier' ARC review

I'll admit, I enjoy road trip stories. Give me any scenario and throw in a road trip and I'll likely enjoy it at least somewhat.

The Bookish Life of Nina Hill is Waxman's more well known book - I've had it on my TBR for a while. It seems to have good ratings and so I went into this with pretty positive expectations.

This isn't typically my genre, but I wanted something short and sweet and figured why not? The description did draw me in, the gym setting seemed interesting. I like that Andy felt he was too small, which isn't something I've seen before. Seeing him struggle with the body dysmorphia would've been a cool addition except it seemed to go away rather quickly at the hot guys' attention.
