The concept was really cool but then it basically became a different version of divergent. I think if it was a standalone about her coming to terms with her best friend being her soulmate when she never previously thought of him that way I would’ve liked it better. I don’t know how this has two more books.

This book was awful. When I heard about this series, all I could think of was oh this is going to be like a gender swap version of Castle. That can't be further from the truth. This woman is supposed to be a mystery writer, but she still believes that she killed a person. Not to mention the disguise and alias is literally the ex-husband's new wife. So not only does she believe that she murdered somebody, but she also inadvertently framed an innocent woman. The fact that she is a fiction writer but he's using actual people's names is absolutely mind-boggling to me. Not to mention her new book is apparently based on the murder she is currently involved in. This felt like a high schooler instead of a mom of two.

I think I found my least favorite genre. Fiction about real people. But this has to be the worst one yet. You take something major that is critical to British history and you make them all American? The least you could do is set it where it actually happened. It almost felt wrong to read this. And Anna of Cleveland?? What the fuck was that?
