WOWWWWW SOOOO GOOD!!! I LOVED THIS!!!! I didn't love the beginning of this book and was tempted to DNF but I kept on and I'm glad I did cause wow, did I love this book. I am so impressed with the characters and how beautifully they were written. I so enjoyed all the characters, from our leading lady, Georgie to Norbert, the messy but lovable hound. I can't wait for you all to read this one. I seriously am so impressed with it and so glad that I read it.

Honestly, I enjoyed this one so much. I adored the cast of characters. They had so much personality and color to them. I enjoyed reading about the side characters just as much as the romantic leads. I love the adventure we get taken on and the stories we get to hear. I loved watching Noelle and Theo fall in love. I'm impressed at how well they communicated with each other. There is no third act breakup in this book and I'm living for it. Such a good book. Will be rereading sometime in the future.

The way their relationship started was weird but I did enjoy this one. I don't like how bossy and demanding Beau is but his generosity and protectiveness make up for it. I love Bailey and her strength and wit. I love how these two grew to love themselves more by loving each other. Such a cute book.

This was good, but it wasn't great. I would've dnfed it if I didn't want to know so badly what happened to make Lauren hate Will. And to be fair, it was worth it. And her reasoning was totally valid, even though it was very drawn out. I wish there was more communication. But that is what gives romance novels their intrigue, I guess. Overall, it was cute but I won't read again. Also I love golden retriever men.

I really did like this book, but at some points, it was so hard to read. The time these people lost just because they refused to communicate. It seriously irks me. But I love how much Macy and Elliot love each other. It's crazy that they never stopped, even after 11 years of no contact. But I can't get over how stubborn Macy is. Like yes, you have trauma, but honey, you had 11 years to go to therapy. And now you're making it everyone else's problem. Girl, please. And Elliot pining over Macy for so long? Sure it's cute but a little pathetic. He had 11 years to go to therapy too. Two very stubborn people. I feel bad for Rachel.

This was such a fun mystery. I enjoyed reading about the characters and all their drama. It was very entertaining. I didn't predict the ending which makes me feel stupid but it made more sense than my prediction. I do think the murderer's motives were strange. But that's just me. In short, I liked it. Also Kelly and Steve need to date already.
