Thank you so much to Berkley Romance for the advance copy of this!

This book will be out on June 24th!

I am such a big fan of Sarah Adler and she was an auto buy/read ever since her first novel Mrs. Nash's Ashes which if you didn't know, I am obsessed with even still years later. She is back with her friends to lover romance as they work together to find a treasure that they started when they were in high school.

"Did you know that every single version of you..Is the perfect one? Because they're all just you. My Nina."

I just am such a fan of the way Sarah writes - between her characters, the location and just everything overall. She is so good at incorporating humor and pop culture without it being too much (I giggled at the Pierre Escargot reference). I love the dialogue between Nina and Quentin and their banter often made me smile. I think them having so much history being childhood friends played in part as to why their dialogue/banter was so fun to read. I often wish in romances that we had dual POV because I love to know what goes on in the male brain but in this case I felt like he gave hints to how he was feeling throughout the book towards Nina. I was internally screaming and even ran to Sarah's DMs to scream about the chapter where they go visit a high school peer's bar. "And you look...You look so fucking beautiful, Nina." SWOOOOOON! Nina grapples with how she feels about Quentin as a misunderstanding from their youth caused them to be estranged for 18 years. And by the end of the book, you can't help but feel for Quentin as he is just so madly in love with Nina.

I will admit I am not always the biggest fan of treasure hunting books as I always seem to be confused as to what is happening. But in this one I felt like I was easy to follow along and could picture things as they were happening. The treasure hunt was a big part of Nina and Quentin's relationship which we learn more about the whys of that. I thought it was a great way for them to bond and to get to spend more time together.

Nina, Nina, Nina. I felt so much of her in me especially with her brain and how she felt like she needed to be. I always find it so relatable when authors incorporate when their character feels like they are behind in life. It truly makes me feel as if I am not alone in feeling like that. One analogy that Sarah used in describing how Nina was feeling which I thought was very clever, "Sabrina has been not only my closet friend but also a helpful yardstick by which I can measure my progress toward the life I want." Now in a way that Nina and I are different, I do not my personal feelings/"failures" take over my life and consume me. Don't get me wrong Nina had a lot of things happen in a short amount of time that anyone in her position would spiral but as the reader I just wanted to shake her and say girl take a deep breath! Look at what's in front of you. She has such a growth from the beginning of the book to the end with her personal journey.

I just really loved this one! It had me smiling and I was pulled into the story from the start. If you love banter, friends to lovers with some treasure hunting - give this one a read!
