I enjoyed this book, especially as we got to see more into Maud’s past. I wasn’t entirely satisfied with the ending, though. I hope there will be another book to tie up some loose ends!

3.0

I liked the flashback stories in this collection where Maud is taking care of business, but the main event story about the safari in Africa was way too sappy and white saviour-ish to me. The cookie recipes were a nice touch.

I liked it up until the very end. The last 30 pages really brought the rating down. I gave it a 3.5 elsewhere but Goodreads hasn’t caught on to the half star fun.

Maud gets very white savior-y at the end when she swoops in to save a random South African family she happened to meet. It’s just giving ‘Instagram in the summer of 2020’ vibes with the performatism.
