I really enjoyed this book from the characters who were all funny, heartfelt, and charismatic in their own ways. I enjoyed the love story that progressed, but also the friendship stories as well. This was a fun read, and I really enjoyed it!! Please note there is significant pregnancy talk/accidental pregnancy in this book, so if you don't enjoy that or you find it triggering due to any reason, I would not recommend this read.

This was a great book with twists and turns that kept me engaged the whole time.
This book follows Alex. a woman who applies for the job of her favorite advice columns after she dies. What Alex doesn't know, is that after getting the job, things will go awry and her dream job may be filled with secrets and lies.
I really enjoyed the advice column piece of this book and enjoyed Alex as a character. I also really enjoyed her companions Raymond and Janice as characters. This was my first book from this author, but I will be reading more.
Thank you to Netgalley and Atria Books for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

" There's only one thing that can be found between lies and revenge." Wow!!! 🤯 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️This is a debut novel ?! I would never guess this author hadn't written many prior. This was simply a fantastic book!!
This book follows a dual POV of two women who seemingly have nothing in common. Elle. a professional con woman, whom lost her family and her inheritance years ago. When Elle meets a woman, Olivia, who was now wearing pieces of her inheritance jewelry, she finds a way to befriend her to try to get back what she's owed. Olivia's life, however perfect it may seem, is far from perfect and after meeting Elle, things in this book take a drastic turn.
This book is filled with twists and turns, lies and revenge, shocking secrets, crazy female relationships, and will keep you flipping the pages to know what happens next.
I would highly recommend this book and will be looking forward to whatever is next from Hannah D. Sharpe. Thank you to Netgalley. Rising Action Publishing, and Hannah D. Sharpe for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.
