This book was fabulous!! I know I love a book if I stay up late and use my book light. Multiple nights in a row I stayed up past my bedtime with my booklight to read this book. 

Have you ever read a book and thought you knew what was going on or who someone was and you were just about to go down that path in your brain but the author pulled you back and said, "Psych JK or but is it him/her?". And then does it over and over so you're soooo invested because you need to know who did it!!?? That is this book in the very best way!!! 

This book will make an appearance in my top 23 in 2023!

Read this Book If:
⚕️you don't need sleep

On my Scale of Buy, Bargain, Borrow, Bud, or Bust I rate this book: BUY

 READ THIS BOOK! If you don't read anything else in this review that's all you need to know. 

Wes and Ivy are in a viscious cycle in their toxic 10+ year relationship. They are head over heels in love, make the other person jealous, breakup, get back together and repeat. When someone ended up dead it bound them together for life. I immediately thought of Bonnie and Clyde. This book was filled with drama and I loved it! 

As I was reading, I knew there were pieces I was missing in the story. By the end, all the pieces were put into place. I was hooked and not let go until the very end. I could not have been more shocked by certain parts in the story if I wrote it myself! Karen's entire character kept me on my toes. I wasn't sure if her gut instinct was right or if she was trying to make something out of nothing. 

Samantha did an amazing job with the entire book! 

On my Scale of Buy, Bargain, Borrow, Bud or Bust I mark this one as BUY. 

Thank you to @berkely and @samanthadowning for a e-ARC of this book! I think I might have yelled out loud with excitement!
