The Gossip and the Grump by Pippa Grant

5.0

The Gossip and the Grump is Book 2 in the Three BFFs and a Wedding series by Pippa Grant, featuring a hilarious one-night stand to enemies to lovers rom-com. Sabrina was having a supremely bad night after a friend’s disastrous almost wedding and a torrent of drama, so why not enjoy a spicy one-night stand and ghost him afterwards? Too bad she didn’t know he was the guy who just bought her beloved family café with an eye for revenge. The pull between them is strong, but will that connection win out over the secrets and plotting?

This book was a blast from start to finish! I loved The Worst Wedding Date, so it was fun to revisit all these compelling characters and meet some new ones! I loved the witty and feisty banter between Sabrina and Grey, as well as the angsty tension that hovers over them as they linger in a state of slow burn passion. The twists and turns of the drama were entertaining, and the emotions of the various characters felt authentic. The small town vibe was top notch, thanks to the family-like atmosphere created by the townspeople! As a small town girl myself, I am hooked on this series, and can’t wait for Emma’s story! Kudos to the author for making Jitter the dog a central character! He stole my heart!
