This was cozy and genuinely slapstick funny at times, and I loved the concept of Minerva House, and how our big cast of characters live unreservedly and independently. The third act tension and chara ter conflicts felt very authentic, given the backstories we had, and was well balanced by mutual respect and a commitment to building (and rebuilding) trust. I thoroughly enjoyed this continuation of the series and I'm loving MacLean's humor. And bonus! A sweet secondary love story!
