Pomona Afton Can So Solve a Murder by Bellamy Rose is wickedly fun! Pomona is a somewhat spoiled heiress with everything handed to her until she finds her grandmother murdered after a night of partying. Pomona gets kicked out of her apartment and cut off because her grandma put it in her will that if she dies under mysterious circumstances that everyone is cut off. Pomona has to call her old nanny (Andrea) who sets her up with her new roommate who happens to be her Andrea's son, Gabe. Gabe is less than pleased when Pomona lands on her door but she has no other options and he decides to let her stay. Together they realize that if the murder is not solved that Pomona will never get back to her life and Andrea will never get the inheritance she was promised. They partner up to solve this murder in honestly a chaotic but hilarious little duo. 

I enjoyed this book immensely. Bellamy Rose managed to get the perfect mixed of spoiled yet redeemable on Pomona. Gabe is such a wonderful force of good in Pomona's life that she changes through the book for the better. The book was comfortable yet refreshing in a way that is hard for me to explain. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to just have a fun time and likes a little romance mixed with a little mystery. 

Tropes: rivals to lovers, forced proximity
