3.5-Star Review
Hannah Upton, reeling from a tough breakup, dives headfirst into solving a workplace mystery, earning her title as the Gossip Queen of BHI.
Alongside her quest, she meets Jeremy, the new IT guy, whose patience and surfing lessons start pulling her out of her comfort zone.

I liked Hannah as the FMC. She realizes that loving herself is key before entering another relationship, avoiding bad choices like her ex, Clae (who deserves a few eye rolls). Jeremy’s quote, “All I ever wish is for you to view yourself through my eyes,” made my heart melt, though their relationship did move quickly.

The story balances romance with workplace gossip, though I felt the "bathroom bandit" subplot could have been left out and had more time with Jeremy and Hannah. While it’s a quick, 100-page read with a satisfying conclusion, the rushed HEA might leave some wanting a bit more development. Also, the cover doesn’t quite capture Hannah’s signature wine-red hair, which felt like a small miss.

Overall, this novella is to the point and enjoyable for anyone seeking a light, feel-good read!.
