Narrator Lauren Sweet's dynamic range captures the sweet and spicy aspects of this queer rom-com. Romance novelist Truly and divorce attorney Colin represent opposite professional ideologies. After a combative podcast discussion, Truly swears the two are enemies--despite her lustful thoughts upon initially meeting Colin. Colin feels otherwise, and in his efforts to get Truly to appear on the podcast again, the two get to know each other.

Embarrassed, because I thought that I had been reading more diversely than I had been; after counting the numbers, I was shocked to see that that wasn’t the case at all.
