Wow, Kate Clayborn is a master at storytelling and weaving romance into a story that has deeper subjects. This reads more like women's fiction, rather than a romance but it was a nice palate cleanser for me. If you're a fan of Emily Henry, then this author and this book are for you. Jess and Adam are very flawed people with complex pasts and presents, and yet you can't help rooting for them and wanting to know more. I loved the way she weaved in the true crime and podcast aspects, as this is huge trend and phenomena in pop culture right now. If you like Only Murders in the Building, you'll want to read this book. I love that the author combined both romance and mystery, and succeeded so well in both genres. This book is definitely not like her others; less happy go lucky, less fun and swoony, and more of a character study and plot driven but I loved that she took this leap and branched out to something new and different because I just loved it more than I can say.

Thank you to NetGalley, Kate Clayborn, and Kensington Books for the eARC of this book.
