Okay, I think we all know why I picked this one up. This was absolutely brilliantly funny. I have never read anything by Sunyi Dean, but now I'm going to need to after this one. This is just twenty pages long, but the narrator had me laughing out loud from the very start of this story. In fact, I think it's the perfect way for this story to be told. Because I will say for the first few pages I was so confused as to what was happening. Based on the title I was like wait, wait a minute, but then it flipped the script and I was all about it. It's absolutely wonderful storytelling, and I'm so glad I stumbled across this through my Libby App.
This is not a normal read for me. In fact, this was so far from the realm of things I read, that I thought it was going to sit on my Kindle and collect dust until I finally either gave it a chance or sent it back to KU. Yet here we are because the book I was reading before this was stressing me out, and I was like I'm on a mini vacation I want to read something silly and fun. So I cracked this opening not expecting to enjoy it as much as I did. Because I, one of the slowest readers I know, read about two-thirds of this in one night. I laid on a bean bag until the early hours of the morning in my parent's living room and didn't stop reading until I fell asleep on my Kindle. The only thing that kept me from finishing this was the fact I got the world's worst cold the day I flew home which knocked on my butt for about three days. Is there a plot to this book, if you squint and look slightly to the left, yeah there's something kind of like a plot there. Does it matter? Nope. I adore Evan and Kuya and how simple this book is, and I mean that with all the respect. This is a happy ending, everything works out in the end, don't stress about the horrible brother because somehow that'll sort itself out later. This is a stress-free book. This is a read-it-curled-up and giggle-to-yourself kind of book. This is I've already downloaded the second volume of this and as soon as I finish my NetGalley book I'll be starting that one, kind of book. Is this kind of romance, smut, usually for me, nope, and this book goes from zero to sixty super fast. But, I found I didn't mind the smut. It was there, but Evan is adorable and I adored him. And how weird this fantasy world was, and how it makes zero sense, but that was half the fun. This book is fun okay and cute and everything my overwork brain needed. So yeah, if you need fun that you don't need to think about, but want to enjoy. This book is right here. Look no further.
HAPPY READING!!
