Bourbon and Secrets by Victoria Wilder
4.0
dark emotional hopeful medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix

pleeease do not come for me for this because i adored the first book in this series, and will definitely be continuing with the next book, i NEED hadley’s story! unfortunately i really struggled with the first ~29 chapters of this. i think i might have been expecting the same level of suspense and emotional punch as the first book, and it just didn’t hit as hard for me. while the first book was fast paced, and felt pretty suspenseful throughout, this one fell flat. for the life of me i couldn’t find the chemistry past the insta lust which made the declarations to each other at the end feel insincere. (imo!)

linc is such a girls dad which was sweet to read. he’ll do anything for lily & lark and they walk all over him in the cutest way lol. it was really sweet to hear him open up about his history with liv. i did get the ick from his black button up shirt tho 😭 i liked these two as individuals, but at times their relationship seemed a little surface level, and i couldn’t get passed it. i was more interested in a side couple that was mentioned near the end. iykyk 🙂‍↕️ i hope to see more of them in hadley’s book.
