I was expecting a lot more from this book, but it’s mainly parenting drama. The main characters are fine, but not great. The only redeeming factor is the quality of the spice. 🌶️

Wow, I really hated this book. I tried to find something I liked about it the entire time because I lead a book club and this was one of our monthly choices. Now I have to lead a discussion on a book I despised. 

It's not the nanny trope that did it, although this nanny trope felt really awful to me. How weird that Aiden was still paying her salary for so long while they were sleeping together. How icky that his daughter just lost her mom and now she has to be afraid of losing her nanny if they break up. I don't think the author realized how traumatic this could be for a child, but I digress. 

But what I hated most is the lying. This wasn't even "miscommunication." It was flat out lying for almost the entirety of the book. It was exhausting. Cassie is exhausting. Aiden is exhausting. Poor Sophie.  

And don't even get me started on the audio. Nails on a chalkboard bad.
