I inhaled this book just as I did the first one, I enjoyed it so much. The plot was intriguing, Finlay's writers block was so relatable, and I'm still kinda rooting for her to end up in a poly relationship with Nick and Julian, or just end up hooking up with Vero. I mean Vero is already the perfect step-parent to Zach and Delia sooooo, just saying.

The story picks up right where the first one left off (so this is definitely a series you should read in order), and it doesn't slow down. Though plot-driven, it still manages to give us a lot of nice character touches along the way; I especially love all the moments between Finlay and Vero, and that we finally get more of Vero's story. I don't think this unbelievably crazy story would work at all if we didn't have these two compelling characters taking us on this journey.
But back to the plot, I was convinced I had things figured out and was one hundred percent wrong haha. I loved how everything worked out though—we get just enough resolved to be satisfying but still have questions for the third book to answer! And I can't wait for that next book.
If you need a laugh, if you need a quick read, if you need a mystery to keep you on your toes, if you need a dream team power duo à la Thelma and Louise, then you should read Finlay Donovan!
