On today’s episode of what did I listen to while at work last tonight? We have this lovely book called ‘Call Me Maybe’ by Cara Bastone. It was narrated by Lucy Christian and Neil Hellegers.
Honestly 10/10. I have recently learned that I can’t handle angst. If you scroll my page and read my last review, you will fully understand what I mean. Angst elicits a rage response nobody needs to hear. So, I loved having a book that was all fluff from the start and hardly any negative moments. Honestly, I was disappointed when they threw in the part about someone threatening the life of the cat, but after they explained the situation it made sense. It was a necessary plot point that I didn’t like, but necessary. And spoiler, it ended happy, and that’s what matters.
I also genuinely loved the fact that the entire relationship was played out by text and phone calls. Bravo to the voice actors and their entire production team, because it felt like listening to one of those story time radio shows that has all the sound effects built in. I loved that you always knew if they were on the phone, texting, or what not becasue of those sound effects and made it more enjoyable.
And shockingly enough I loved when the book ended as they were meeting. I liked that they put so much build up into the relationship and kept it pure and wholesome. My fluff enjoying heart was very happy.
Full disclosure though, my coworker doesn’t trust me listening to audiobooks anymore after the sex scene she had to endure during Red, White and Royal Blue, because she turned the corner heard the word ‘fuckboy’ five times in a row and told me to ‘stop listening to this kind of stuff’ and I was sitting there like “THIS IS FLUFF AND PURELY FLUFF THEY DON’T EVEN KISS’ spoiler alert: they don’t even kiss. However, the good news she stopped hanging out in my area of the restaurant becasue of Red, White and Royal Blue so that’s a bonus. I get my counter top back! YEAH BABY! WORTH IT!
Anyways my next book was going to be a book on American Witches, but after reading the reviews I realized it was a Christian author proclaiming witches to be ‘devil’s whores’ so that is off the list for obvious reasons. I love when books get marketed as historical nonfiction and are written by clearly biased writers. (Please read the sarcasm and watch me cringe as I delete it out of my library in rage) If anyone has any recommendations about historically accurate, but mostly nonbias accounts of any topic really (except war I can’t do war books) or books written by actual Pagan’s or people of really any relgion that isn’t Christian (I just know too much about the Christian religion, please don’t take that as a negative) on fun and exciting history topics please give me a recommend, because I would love to start throwing in some accurate historical reads as well. I’m not just here for the fluff or smut shockingly.
