Something Cheeky by Thien-Kim Lam

This was sweet, steamy, and poignant as heck. I loved the friends to lovers vibes and the way Zoe and Derek transitioned to a romantic relationship. Derek’s pining was honestly quite adorable and I liked Zoe’s representation as a demi-sexual. The fact that she’s also an empowered plus size badass working to help other women feel empowered and sexy makes me love her all the more. She’s stubborn as heck which is sometimes a problem in the story, but I like that she stands up for herself and what she believes in. Derek is tough because he absolutely has the people pleaser tendencies and you just want to shake and hug him at the same time. He is also a lady pleaser though so definitely a plus on his resume ❤️‍🔥
Greg is obviously a turd and he just got worse and worse. But I feel like he was really useful tool to highlight the harmful of being insensitive both by ignorance and by choice. I actually feel like I learned a lot reading this as well. 
I’m really glad I ended up getting this as an audiobook because I enjoyed ByVy Nguyen and David Lee Huynh’s narrations, and I think hearing them pronounce things throughout book was very helpful. They both did a wonderful job bringing the characters to life and projecting the emotions of the story into their own styles. 
Overall it was a really great book and I want to go back to find Happy Endings now too! 

Thank you HarperAudio and NetGalley for the listening opportunity!
