I absolutely loved this book! It's tough taking such a hard topic (domestic abuse, especially in the pandemic) and adding some humor but this was done wonderfully. There was emotion, heart, and even some laughs in this story. I loved our mains and I think setting it during lockdown was a really interesting - but welcome! - choice. I saw the ending coming, but it didn't fall flat and was a very fun ending (tbh, I was kind of surprised that a different character never really came into play). I loved reading these characters a lot. While it's a different book, I think that it's in the spirit of The Bandit Queens, so if you loved that you'd love this!
