    Really love what you had to say about the Chloe Liese and her note about the rekationship in her book. I haven't read that one, but I've read lots of her others and always think she shows such great romantic love that anyone could aspire to have. I'm a romance reader, almost exclusively, and I've grown so tired of the non stop toxic relationships being hyped.

In the morning I do Valentine's day with a card and chocolates. In the evening I celebrate her birthday with cake, presents, etc. I want her to know that anyone she is with needs to celebrate both things and not try to give one gift for both.

    I think you would enjoy Thank you for listening by Julia Whelan. It's a lighthearted romance with all the fun tropes - and the characters know it, since they are romance audiobook narrators. You also get a lot of insights into the job of narrators - and i remember you like getting to know the ins and outs of characters' jobs. The author is an amazing narrator herself, so it feels very authentic.
