I enjoyed this book. Some mystery to it. I couldn’t quit listening because I needed to know what happened.
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I felt it was a bit mediocre, but had some redeeming qualities. I didn’t really care for the characters much, but there was nothing specifically wrong with them. I felt more interested in the relationship of their bosses rather than them. It was an easy listen (audiobook) and I liked the forum posts and when it went to the interviews, but I didn’t really care for the overall story.

I wanted a book to escape the current reality of our world. While this book did distract me from reality, this book was just lacking.

The supporting characters (Melissa and Russ), their business etc were too similar to a real life couple in the spotlight. Yes of their problems were not like the real life couple but even the goofiness of the husband was too much like the real man.

I have always found Christina Lauren's books to be well developed but this one just didn't hit the mark.

I received an ARC of this book. All thoughts & opinions are my own.

Awww, the iconic duo strike again! Loved everything about this one.

This book was okay; not the best, but fun to listen to. I liked that there was dual POV between the female and male lead characters, but the relationship seemed a little undeveloped. I didn't particularly enjoy the social media and police interview interjections to the story, but otherwise it was an enjoyable lighthearted romance.

While I usually enjoy this author's books, this one fell flat for me. Switching between the two characters left me disappointed and wishing there was more from the woman's point of view. There wasn't as much inner monologue so I felt like I didn't know the characters. Not a fan of this one...

I really liked this book. I really like all their books. For clear reasons I kept picturing Chip and Joanna Gaines as the lesser main characters, and there was a moment in the book where fake Joanna Gaines mentioned real Joanna Gaines, and that threw me for a bit. Kind of like in Fangirl when they mention Harry Potter when clearly the fandom was fake Harry Potter so you assume real HP doesn't exist in that world, you know?

Anyway, it was a nice distraction from how our democracy is going to shit while our president brags about passing a dementia test while the rest of the country contracts a pandemic while a bunch of assholes refuse to wear masks because of "liberty" or some shit. And it also made me want to go to Wyoming.
