Full of Emotion

I didn't know what to expect going into this, maybe a lighthearted murder mystery with a healthy dash of romance. Juniper Bean is certainly that, but it has heavy moments and shocking moments as well. Juniper and Aiden are the exact right amount of quirky and I adore them both so much. I related to them both, hard, for various reasons, and I adore how Gracie describes Aiden's developing attraction to Juniper. There is so much love between them, and the characters are so well developed, this is one of those books that proves you don't always need to have spice for a good romance. It's wholesome and heart wrenching and I absolutely think this is going on my top ten for 2023 reads.
