I had a few guesses at the twists, but the plot tied together in an expertly planned puzzle. The reveals were paced well, keeping this a solid page turner all the way through. The relationships felt incredibly real, and I typically don’t read books for the interpersonal dynamics, but they added so much so much and worked really well to unfold the story.
The food focus did make me hungry, I’ll have to go for some adobo soon!
Can’t wait to read more Jennifer Hillier, she’s at the top of my list now for authors to read more of!
