I am surprised by some of the negative reviews - I really enjoyed the audiobook and I found the twists juicy and unexpected.

Had to choose two leadership books for a college course to read and compare - this is not something I would normally read and I did not like it very much. Might have been better during the time that it came out but I am personally not a fan of this certain brand of "women = high heels" girlboss type of feminism. Science was not super trustworthy, one of their sources is a fellow that they mention is a regular on the Dr. Oz show which was a red flag for me personally. (I also read Brene Brown's "Dare to Lead" and would recommend that if you are looking for books on this topic.)

This is the most beautiful book I have read in a long time. As someone who grew up in Florida, it moved me deeply. I loved all of the characters. The writing style is beautiful. I love this and will read it again.

Very very very cute and sweet. A delight to read, conflict but nothing dark or stressful, a cozy read. As a D&D player and former barista, this story was very charming.
