This was another easy and fun read from McFadden, yet felt very samey.
Millie has a few extra facets within her life - Enzo/Brock/Studying - but feels more flat than in the first novel. These character points are underdeveloped and serve no purpose to the story other than to demonstrate how her 'services' have made her personal life tricky.

I enjoyed reading Wendy's POV,
as an indulgence of reading about absurd self-absorbtion,
and learning about the dynamics of her relationship. Garrick was written well and was one of my favourite characters.
