This is my third book by this author & it didn’t live up to my expectations after Funny Story. I did like the chemistry between Alice & Hayden along with the

surprise twist towards the end

. There were a few spicy 🌶️ scenes but nothing too crazy. I just felt that the story focused so much on Margaret that it took away from the couple’s story. Note: I listened to the audiobook & the voice actors did well.
