This started off well but it was far too long and repetitive 😫 a lot of twists towards the end and none of them believable.

Never just a book by it’s cover 🤦🏼‍♀️

This was a total cover buy for me, I wish I hadn’t bothered Piglet’s 🙄 soon to be husband Kit did something and confessed a short while before the nuptials. Everyone in the story found out what but the reader 😡

I feel like I wasted my time, the story itself was okay, not the best, not the worst but to not find out what was pivotal to the story and not find out what is unforgivable 😫

This is a middle of the road book. Not awful but not brilliant either 🤷🏼‍♀️
It had an interesting premise but the execution was clunky and seemed to take an age to get anywhere. 
Also, the amount of eye rolling I did 🙄 how can a person be that stupid with just the one head? 
It’s on KU so borrow it, don’t buy it.
