Not my favorite Agathe Christie book but I do love all the different types of characters to keep you guessing.

Maybe I should have read the first book before this novella because I was kind of lost? It seemed like a good set up to the next book but it just felt like introductory chapters in any book and then it was over.

Fun semi-second chance romance, summer international romance. It was cute. I appreciated the girl group where you think it's a solid girls group but really it's a realistic "been friends since high school and drifted apart so friendship wasn't as close". It's real! It was a funny and fun cute read.

I really enjoyed this book! It was cute, funny, and academically sexy! FMC was relatable and felt like I wanted to be her friend watching Twilight movies eating cheese. So awesome hahaha. I also appreciated her growth arc throughout! Loved the Adam and Olive cameo as well!

I love Sarah Bale's writing! I love a good fairytale reimagining though so she's got me hooked there! Her books always have a dark twist that still always catches me by surprise in the end. Loved seeing reappearances of the other characters in the series! *Check triggers beforehand

This book had me giggling so many times. Tristan being thrown into Clair's family environment was hilarious but was done so beautifully the whole book. The grief storyline throughout was also done so well and addressed perfectly! And then of course, the spice scenes were top notch. I loved the happily ever after everyone got.

I really enjoyed this book from start to finish! It had a great beginning hook and all the characters were loveable. Very cute and lighthearted read that had me giggling at multiple points. Lots of fun banter as well. I thought it was also great character growth for the FMC! It reminded me of my love story with my husband since we're a second chance romance that dated in high school. I think that's why I loved the book. A lot of moments were very similar to ours that brought up a lot of memories and feelings.

When I want to keep reading during work, that's when I know a book has got me. It's a very sweet book with lots of sweet characters and sweets in general (hah). Decker was a softy and a sweetheart that just made you swoon all the time. The first kiss scene was so well done! I got butterflies in my heart!! I loved the building of new traditions and character development. Also appreciated the mental health anxiety/panic attacks/grief rep!
