 I’m fucking obsessed with this and the narration is fantastic and so funny. I took my time and savored every moment. I cannot wait for book 2!

I had a lot of fun reading this one but I couldn't help expecting a bit more from it. I wanted all of the nitty-gritty rich people antics to play out with more substance than they often did. 

I am so amazed at how well this book portrays the long-term effects of grief and how people are eventually expected to move on. It had excellent family bonding, wacky adventures, and a healthy dose of guncle advice. If I ever get a physical copy, I wholeheartedly intend to annotate all of the amazing advice. If you haven't read this series yet, this is your sign to do so. You will never regret it!

I will always love reading about rich people doing messed up things. It is my favorite thriller subgenre for a reason. Books like this one keep you on your toes while also including an inherent poshness that brings the story to life.

I adored the autism rep in this one and thought it was very well done. It was a nice blend of spicy and funny moments with enough seriousness to make the story feel complete. 

A hockey referee/linesman romance? Sign me up! It is such a fun twist on a hockey romance that really takes advantage of all of the different positions of people it takes to make a hockey game happen. I haven't personally heard of another romance like it which definitely adds to it feeling so special.

I feel like I blinked and it was over. I just wanted more from it. 50ish pages were not enough of these characters. It was a fun time but it wrapped up too soon. I especially would've loved more scenes in the club.

Speaking of the club, the concept and development of it was fantastic! I wish I could go there in real life. It was truly a magical experience and brought back the fun I was missing from this series. I cannot believe there is only one more book until this series is complete.

I think the concept of this series is incredibly cool. Every book in the series is written by a different author but set in the same club. It adds a realistic difference in the world that better reflects real life. It is a lot of fun to get to know the club inside and out with different perspectives.

I gotta be honest, initially I cringed at Violet's very adult diary. It would've been better if it was referred to as a journal. That said, it was a great catalyst for the plot. It was a great use of an object becoming a major proponent of the plot. 

I liked watching the characters all growing together as they go. It adds a much-needed depth to an otherwise shallow story. If you like a quick spicy read, this one is pretty fun. 

This book is incredibly overtly sexual, that is the entirety of the plot. If that is not your thing, do not read this series.

This novella was just a further reminder of how in love I am with these characters and this series as a whole. While I am very sad to see it go, I am also so happy with how it was wrapped up. It truly did such an amazing job at helping the plotlines of the main characters and background characters feel settled. While I will always be down for more of this series, I am also quite happy with this as the series conclusion.

This was such a perfectly silly goofy good time seeing everyone in the town come together. I really applaud Erin for creating character relationships in a small town that are genuinely interwoven but didn't end up where every character somehow automatically knew every other character just because they are from the same area. I really can see all of these ladies having a fun time in a book club together and most of their men reaping the benefits of their reading materials content.

You absolutely need to read the rest of the series before picking this one up but when you do it will be so worth it. It truly felt like coming home and being wrapped in a warm hug. Even one page in, there were no punches pulled with the silliness. Coop will always be Coop (iykyk). So many moments in this book pulled at my heartstrings to see everyone growing older and settling into their lives. 

If it wasn't obvious from the title, this book does contain spicy content. If you aren't into that sort of thing this book isn't for you.

I received this book as an arc from the author. My review is honest and voluntary

This was an entertaining read that serves as an excellent prequel for the series. I like the concept of a murder mystery party and this book really makes me want to go to one. To see Pippa fall in love with solving a case and following clues was a lot of fun. It added a lot of valuable depth to the motivations of her character. I wish more series added short prequel novellas like this one.

This was a powerful story with important native representation. Admittedly there were times when it was a bit hard to follow the storyline and who everyone was to each other with the switching perspectives. I enjoyed it pretty well, I just kinda wanted more from it. 

A proper review is coming when I process my thoughts
