Really enjoyed reading this. Smart, humorous and just long enough...probably could of ended a little sooner but not horribly too long. Just a quirky, enjoyable read.

It was a fun read, but I feel as though the ending was quite rushed. I wish the chemistry with Perry was built up more and that the twins got to smooth out their relationship. It felt as if the main character had a bit of a victim complex.

Found the main character aggressively unlikeable. 

This was cute. I kinda wish there had been more hijinks. Chapters are SO short. Sad about Mandy. Really though—this isn’t a cozy mystery or a crackpot, or really a rom com. And I do wish it had a bit more of the cozy crackpot mystery feel. But it was fun.

I loved the dry humor. A truly witty book!

Slightly outlandish but purely delightful.

I loved the premise, but the book itself was a little weighed down. It kinda felt like the subplots came at the expense of more time with the main characters, who didn’t seem like they had a ton of chemistry. Maybe I just don’t read many “closed door” romances? I would read another book by this author, but will definitely go the library book route.

Funny and entertaining!

Cleary no one in the cast has anxiety because everyone speaks and makes decisions at such a breakneck pace, its jarring.
