This book was all over the place and therefore so are my thoughts.
- Maggie is the absolute worst character I have ever read.
- Ethan was cool at first, then gave me the ick. The fucking soliloquies about his undying love for Maggie was just too much and CoRnYyY and DrAmATiC
- I rolled my eyes so many times it's actually insane.
- this was wayyyyyy tooooo insta-lovey without any real connection?
- the entire enemies to lovers marketing of this book is a hoax- Maggie hates him for literally no good reason, and that's it....
- maybe I am new to the cozy mystery genre but like, there was no mystery? No real “detective” work? We'd get a little glimpse and then nothing substantial until the very end... I just felt lost.
- what a letdown. Bleh.
