I liked this book very much.  I started in strong with it but near the end I thought it moved a bit slow until the last 100 pages.  Also, the reveal in the middle, I had already figured out near the beginning.  I am going to read the next book in the series.  I love the writing.  I am just a slow reader which doesn't help.  I rate it a solid 3.5 stars.

AAAA this book was so slay, it was pretty slow and there was a lot of descriptions of places and foods and how the main character was feeeling. I liked how in depth the book got with the characters emotions and I loved the romance, very cute!!!
