This is a prequel novella to Unexpectedly Ruined, Irene Bahrd’s new book that comes out January 19. I am so incredibly thankful to be on the ARC team for that one, and they sent us an early copy of the prequel (even if I’m reading it after the release date).

Maybe in Fifty has perfectly set me up for Unexpectedly Ruined. Jack and Amanda’s chemistry is great, and I can’t wait to see how that grows for them when they (hopefully?) meet again in the next book. Though a quick window into how they met and spent a night together, it is an ideal novella in my eyes. 

The best part is that they don’t even know each other’s names. The mystery adds intrigue but also has my brain flicking through a million different scenarios of what will happen next.
