This one took a minute for me to fully get into, but once I did I was hooked!

If you liked Finlay Donovan is Killing It but struggled *just the tiniest bit* at suspending your disbelief at some of the hijinks Finlay got herself into (especially as the series progressed), I would highly recommend this book!

It's not a perfect novel (her entire career as a writer, while mentioned often, just seems to hover in the background?) but if you're looking to turn off your brain and get lost in a mix between (slightly heavier) cozy mystery + romance, then this is a solid book to check out.

I surprised myself by liking the romance more than I thought I was going to initially (some of the protests for how long things took to come together annoyed me in the beginning) and I thought everything wrapped up quite nicely at the end!

If there was a sequel featuring these characters again, I would most definitely read it. It didn't end on a cliffhanger in any way (and I don't know if a sequel is planned), but there are so many opportunities to expand these characters!
