I own every book by this author and after reading this one, I cannot wait to read the rest! She did a great job with this book and I could tell she put her heart into it. The writing reminded me a lot of Kennedy Ryan and I think it had a lot to do with the self awareness of the characters as well as the emphasis on the importance of mental health that most romance books don't have. 

And can we all gush about that gorgeous cover art for a second?

I read this because of tiktok and I think it was a cute cozy mystery but one of those books you'll forget pretty quick.

DID YOU GUYS KNOW LIN SINGS IN THE AUDIOBOOK???? 
I'm so glad I read this. This was so insightful and a reminder that those that we look up to as being successful had to start somewhere.

I feel like if more time and attention had been given to Mason's POV this story would have been much better. It just ended up falling kind of flat for me.
