WOW! I binged this book in less than 12 hours because I could NOT put it down! a fantastic poolside read 🤌🏼

first of all, you know I’m a sucker for reverse stereotypes - women who can take down a grown ass man with a few elbow punches, men who fall in love first, a found family where the woman is the outsider - I LOVED IT!

while the story centered around hannah and her primary, it was truly the side characters that made it for me. jack’s not so famous famous family was so beautiful and messy, and 100% reminded me of my own family. and hannah’s boss being a big ol softie for her despite his harsh words was 🥹🥹

this is my first katherine center book, but it certainly won’t be my last! the way she’s able to craft a story with intertwining multiple plots is so gorgeous and seamless! I can’t believe we truly got a romance, comedy and mystery all in one 🤌🏼

I have no idea why I didn’t pick this one up sooner! if you’re a fan of romcoms but don’t want the “typical” formula - PICK THIS ONE UP!
