10 Things That Never Happened

I have been having trouble with most audio books since the 11/24 election. This was a planned read for December since it takes place at Christmastime and Alexis Hall managed to keep me entertained. I knew that if I couldn't focus on one of his books then I need to take an audio break for awhile. For me, Alexis Hall and Emily Henry are the romance writers to beat. They mix banter and heartfelt stories so well. I give an edge to Alexis Hall for the way he always makes me laugh in his books and then a few pages later I'm crying. The found family in this book (all his books to be honest) is top notch. I have yet to read one of his books that is a miss. The first 50% felt like a solid contemporary book and I wasn't really feeling the romance but then a switch flips and I totally buy them as a couple. It didn't feel like an awkward transition or anything, it just happened. They may be one of my favorite couples of any romance I read this year.
