This was such a great read. Just the Nicest Couple had a great plot, but I found that the Characters POV were what really drove the story for me. I absolutely love the way Mary writes her characters. I always get so invested in each characters perspective it’s almost disappointing when it changes!

This book had me guessing until the end!  Unfortunately, I didn’t really like the end and I felt like all of the build up was wasted with what ended up happening. Overall solid listen though!

Characters were boring and the ending felt rushed and out of place. It was quick to read and the story was fine, but it was hard to get invested.
