I don't think any other audio book is even going to come close to topping this this year. Ugh. It's too early in the year for me to be saying that.

I adored our main pairing so much. They were literal perfection. Slow burn in the best way. And the HISTORY we got inspired me to do more research on Mexico and France going to war. 

I was really disappointed with how rushed the ending felt though. I felt like that was so much to get through in such a short amount of time that we were being told a lot of information rather than shown it in an attempt to wrap up quickly. I wouldn't have been mad at this being a bit longer to fix that or even having a sequel.

I want to go back and read this at another time with a physical copy because I just KNOW I missed the way some of the characters were connected. This was well thought out and well executed.

That being said, I almost wish we had LESS characters to follow along with because after a while I felt like I lost interest in just how many characters we were following.

Learned after reading the author is a TERF. I need to do better research before checking books out from the library apparently.

I loved the PCOS rep in here and how the characters grow throughout this story. It’s cute, cozy and wholesome.

How is this written by the same author that wrote I’m Not Done With You Yet? I had no idea until I was looking at my STORYGRAPH author stats and was shocked. 

This was so funny and cute. I enjoyed every minute of it. 
I will say that this author is clearly skilled at making 3d characters and I will be checking out more books by her!

This was a book where you love to hate the main characters. A book where you question what’s actually happening because their perspectives are so warped. I loved how these characters jumped off the page and made terrible decisions because of how they perceived things. It was a very well done suspense. I didn’t want to put it down. 
I’ve seen people compare it to Yellowface and I will say I see some similarities but I wouldn’t necessarily recommend one just because you’ve read the other.
