Honestly a bit heavier than I was anticipating, a lot of heavy topics, such as:

biphobia, death of a parent, child neglect, substance abuse, undocumented status, anxiety attacks, abusive partners

In that sense, with so much drama and intense things going on, the relationship didn’t get the time I think it deserved. 
But props for making Han have his gay crisis before the engagement bc if he was faking all of it, I would have DNF’ed.
Jackie, you villainous bitch, I hope you’re rotting in book hell somewhere.

Thank you Net Galley for the advanced copy of this audiobook- timely debuting on January 21,2025. Broposal is the epitome of don’t judge a book by its cover. This is a heavy emotional and serious best friends to lovers adult romance. The triggers given by the author’s note on abusive relationships and immigration issues are significant in the story. Left you fighting for and supporting the MCs Kenny and Hans throughout the story. The character development of all the characters throughout the story (except Jackie) is very well done and the narration of the audiobook I feel really added to the depth of your compassion for each and everyone.
