💭Thoughts: 

Gosh I was LOVING this book until that third act break up. I already dislike miscommunication tropes but this was unpalatable. It took me right out of enjoying the story. The spice is amazing, I was loving the plot, but the fallout was OTT and cruel. I can’t imagine forgiving someone who spoke to me how Elsie spoke to Ginny, so it made them coming back together unbelievable 

I’ll definitely check out another Meryl Wilsner book but I’ll be checking for 3rd act break up tropes first 😅
