The Buy-In by Emma St. Clair
3.5
lighthearted medium-paced

Thank you to NetGalley and Emma St. Clair for the opportunity to receive an eARC of this book in exchange for my honest opinion and review!

Overall this book was CUTE. Sheet Cake is an adorable town full of adorable people, and I really felt for Lindy and she dealt with the situation with Jo.

I almost wish that it hadn't been quite as clean of an ending as it had been -
I almost wish Rachel had actually shown up for the trial and that there has been a little more drama with that.
I also had a bit of a hard time with some of the banter and the tone of Lindy and Pat's internal dialogues. Jo was adorable, but I'd love to read about a kid that ISN'T too smart for their own good and quite so precocious - most kids in rom coms are all pretty similar at this point.
