A relatively easy read. I didn’t know what to expect going into this & I felt the story shifted a few times on the way through. It touches on a few different topics; sexual assault, death, forgiveness & sexism. While these topics are all heavy, the book overall was a pretty light read. I felt some of the themes needed a bit more development in their storylines - but overall enjoyed the read!

I really really enjoyed this book. It was such a delight and brought joy into my reading life! The banter was witty and the main character is lovable and so down to earth. I loved this book and it brought me so much happiness. I just didn’t want to put it down, but had to because we’ll work got in the way!

Cute!
