I loved being back in Bliss, Georgia with Bonnie Balfour and her cat, Clyde! I was laughing at her Grandma Gigi's antics during the investigation. The romantic tension with Mason is fantastic, and this was another fun cozy mystery with a great setting, unique, interesting characters, and fun plot twists!

I adored this. The writing style is minimalist, but impactful. This novel focuses on the everyday sexism and rigid misogyny that women in South Korea face. Despite the minimalist style, I really felt as if I got to know Kim Jiyoung, and I felt for her and got angry with her throughout the novel. I highly recommend this one!
