I pre ordered this book after reading Arsenic & Adobo which was adorable. Unfortunately I didn’t feel the same about this book. 

The writing felt forced like the author was trying to do the most with every character. Or maybe got a bonus for every time she could use the word corn… It took me out of the moment and the mystery.
