The Graham Effect by Elle Kennedy
3.5
3.5 ⭐️
Spice: 🌶️🌶️/5
Format: audiobook
Narration: 🎤🎤🎤.5/5
I keep telling myself I’m done with Elle Kennedy but I come back for more anyway. I will say that this book had me hook, line, and sinker… up until that marriage. I’m sorry. It was so fucking weird that it ruined the last 10% of the book for me. Like what was that?
I did however love the relationship Wellsy had with Ryder. I’ve always loved Hannah and it was nice to have her presence back as a wife and mother. It was also heartwarming seeing old characters now with children and still happily with their partners. I nearly squealed when Dean came back. And he has a son named Beau, I almost sobbed.
I really loved the main characters. Gigi is fierce and independent, nothing surprising being the child of Garrett and Hannah Graham. The storyline of Gigi trying to get out from under her dad’s shadow was also cute, and Ryder’s help with that. Their relationship was also very sweet. And we got an EK book without a miscommunication trope! If only there wasn’t a shotgun marriage trope to tip the scales again.
One of these days, Elle, I’m going to say I’m done and mean it. But not today.
As for the narration, it was just okay. Beckett’s Australian accent was used only like 50% of the time, it would randomly come back as an afterthought. Also the male narrator doing the FMC’s voice was very cringey, like nails on a chalkboard.
