 This book was a delight. I was not expecting the mystery (and action sequence). Learning about a different culture AND a mystery- this is my jam! Add in a bevy of fully realized female characters of all ages with back stories, unique perspectives and differing ways of taking agency over their lives and I am in reading heaven. AND some super spicy bits! More like this please!

I was expecting this to be a light-hearted read and while it was at times, it also deals with some heavy topics. There are themes of grief, misogyny and racism, as well as a mystery subplot I wasn't anticipating. These elements are balanced with funny and heart-warming moments though and I felt very immersed in the setting. I'd have liked to feel a little more connected to the main character because she felt a little surface level but I enjoyed it overall.

This book was a genre I usually wouldn’t choose but I am glad I did. It was a great story but also had three storylines running together. A mystery, meets erotica,meets culture clash. I enjoyed learning about another culture and how that culture has changed its norms over time. Or some have. I enjoyed the humor throughout and seeing women rise above their “roles” and start making changes for themselves and their futures. Excellent story.
