This was my first time reading a cozy mystery and unfortunately this was not the one for me. I feel like this genre is typically predictable and whatnot so I had no problem with that. However, I really disliked the main character and the way that she was constantly overstepping boundaries and snapping at people who didn't deserve it. I also assume that some amateur sleuthing is to be expected as well but there were times where something was incredibly obvious and the characters are like "but what does it mean???"
I also did not believe the romance AT ALL
