These people both need therapy.  But it is nice to read a print book set in New England, audiobooks always mess up the town names.

Def not CF-friendly. Also weird that she's the one in need of a sexual revelation but none of the sex scenes are from her perspective 🤔

It’s an interesting premise, but ultimately, the characters felt more like caricatures than real people. It was an enjoyable read, but I found myself skimming parts because they were too cliche or insta-love. If you want a cute rom-com, it’s okay, but if you’re looking for mystery, that is definitely not its strength.

also what happens to Jude and the movie star??? Is this a spin off??? I need more information

I’m having a hard time actually rating this because it wasn’t bad, there were a few parts that made me smile, but it wasn’t that good. It was super insta-lusty which I really don’t love. The whole book takes place over a week and by like day 3 they’re ‘in love’.

I mean really, who moves in with someone to a different state and quits their job after knowing them for a week? I don’t care what you went through together, that’s moving way too fast. It’s not even remotely believable at that point.

The main characters were both kind of annoying and a little dumb/frustrating. I like it when mmc are somewhat protective and possessive, but sometimes it went too far. They blame it on his PTSD that they mention once and then just kind of move on, not even mentioning anything in the epilogue about how he dealt with it. We also didn’t really get much about them as people or their backgrounds. Like with his divorce, he never talked about why he got divorced with her or said anything about his ex-wife. It was just kind of thrown in to show how bad he got obsessed with the Boston kidnapping case. It seemed like the actually story and character buildup was super rushed together and it focused a lot more on smut scenes, which kind of ruined it. There wasn’t much swooning or sweet things being said. It was kind of insta-lust to love right away when they barely know each other. 

Also, what was going on with Jude and Dante? We never even found out what happened when Dante came to talk to Jude, it felt so incomplete. It’s like the author started to write a cute side story and then totally forgot about it. 

Idk. It was enjoyable enough for a quick read. The mystery was pretty easy to solve.
