Ngl, I was wholly invested from learning that Shyla and Jinh were exes. Love me some diversity rep!

Ooh, it's set in DC and Rockville? How interesting!

It probably shouldn't bother me as much as it does that this was clearly written by someone British but the occasional language lapses are just so jarring!

Finally have all the ingredients for the candy but super dragging my feet on making it, gaaaaah.

I wonder if they localized further after putting out the proof I'm reading.

Lol, damn, girl.

I am having all the diaspora feeeeeeeeels!

Idk how I feel about the purposeful tweeness of the writing so far

Some of the writing is v good so far.

A faster read than the last book in this series that I encountered!

The way this sent me looking up barndominiums, lol

I still don't know how I'm supposed to feel about this author but the work is interesting!

Weirdly torn in my sympathies with this book. It sucks that everyone assumes Olivia will start being interested in romance eventually, but also why does she have to be such a killjoy?

I usually find the ones where Lucy has to interact with her dreadful family tedious, but the dual POV here helps!

Lol, who are all these anti-music Muslims?

A little alarmed at how my Kindle counter on this is dragging.

Enjoying how this is definitely more in the juicy vein of The Hunting Wives than the annoying An Unlikeable Woman.

I enjoy Simone St James' writing so much!

I really appreciate how the author's writing keeps improving with each book!

I continue to be incredibly pissed off that books like this are both relevant and needful to the bullshit times we live in.

Compelling stuff!

Tough to read quickly when I'm doing it on my PC!

Only able to read this on my PC, so let's see how quickly I can manage this!

Still haven't seen any evidence of Nat doing anything wrong yet, ijs!

Thank God for a book that's effortlessly readable!

Interesting premise, but the writing seems just to be warming up? I hope so, at least!

Thought I could finish this and get the review out today but illness has really gotten in the way!

A moving introduction.

I always love this author's writing!

Always exciting to see how the prose and puzzles shift ever so slightly with each book
