Just Between Us

So Little Time #4

by Jacqueline Carroll

Riley and Chloe's latest school assignment is to bring an adult they admire to class for career day. They don't want to ask their parents because they're afraid their mom and dad will fight. So they bring Tedi (a model) and Manuelo (the family housekeeper) instead. Much to everyone's delight, Manuelo is a huge hit. But later when the Carlsons forget to include Manuelo in a family portrait, he's so insulted he quits. Hiding from the family, he takes a job at Neptune's Net as the head chef. Riley and Chloe have to find him -- their family won't be picture-perfect without him.

I was a huge fan of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen and was on an endeavour to collect all their movies and books.

The SO LITTLE TIME series is good, but, in my opinion, not as good as the SWEET 16 series. The SO LITTLE TIME series, however, has a TV series loosely based on the books which is just as good as the books.

I kind of wanted to knock that Willow bitch right on her smug face...no kidding. She needs it.

I seriously need these girls to bin off these boys. Alex didn’t believe Riley when she had valid worries about Willow (who is absolutely evil), and then Travis is a complete selfish bellend. Chloe potentially has broken up with him but at the same time it’s not actually clear 🤷🏻‍♀️

I wish the girls would be so much more proactive. I think me reading about strong women in other stories is sending me mad reading this 🤣 I do think the book has developed the girls’ in a roundabout way. Chloe has realised that her time is as important as others’ & I only wish that will continue.

I also think the girls learned a valuable lesson with Manuelo 💖 I think as the series goes on he’s going teach the girls lessons more than their parents, and I genuinely love his character for that 🫶🏼

There’s been valid minor character developments and I’m hoping there’s going to be more! 💖

3/5 ⭐

As good as the series (maybe even a little better) ... Every effort these nurses is good and everything they do is great ... too bad their real life is not so good ... But as far as books, I recommend it to everyone.

[Rebecca Wright · Rating 4 out of 5]

a family picture, to me it should have always had manuelo in it. Travis just isn't the right guy for chole. so cute that Alex knows that willow is not the girl for him only Riley.

This was so entertaining!! This book focused a bit more on Riley than Chloe. However, Chloe went through some growth at the end so that's a win for her! The Willow-Alex-Riley storyline weirdly had me on the edge of my seat. I'm ready for the next book, that's for sure.
