First line/s: "Before we get started there are a few things you should know about me:
1. I am both broke and lazy, a terrible combination.
2. I am perpetually awkward at parties and in an effort to relax will probably end up drinking until I'm topless.
3. I tend to like animals more than people.
4. I can always be counted on to do or say the worst possible thing in a delicate moment."
My comments: Very cute story about a young teacher and the Korean American young man she's had a crush on for years. The voice of the guy who read the male part was a bit disconcerting, especially when he spoke the female part. This was my only complaint. 2.5/4 for steam, and I'll go out on a limb and give it a four overall.
Goodreads synopsis: Hazel Camille Bradford knows she’s a lot to take—and frankly, most men aren’t up to the challenge. If her army of pets and thrill for the absurd don’t send them running, her lack of filter means she’ll say exactly the wrong thing in a delicate moment. Their loss. She’s a good soul in search of honest fun.
Josh Im has known Hazel since college, where her zany playfulness proved completely incompatible with his mellow restraint. From the first night they met—when she gracelessly threw up on his shoes—to when she sent him an unintelligible email while in a post-surgical haze, Josh has always thought of Hazel more as a spectacle than a peer. But now, ten years later, after a cheating girlfriend has turned his life upside down, going out with Hazel is a breath of fresh air.
Not that Josh and Hazel date. At least, not each other. Because setting each other up on progressively terrible double blind dates means there’s nothing between them...right?
