    I've loved every TJR book so far. Her beautiful storytelling is top notch and this was no exception. My only complaint is that it ended when it did because I wasn't ready for Joan and Vanessa's story to be over. Also FUCK Barbara I wanted to reach into the book amd punch her any time she showed up.

    I stg all my notes so far are either about the beautiful writing that TJR does so well or about how every time Barbara opens her mouth I want to reach into the book and punch her.

    What a delightful read! I was honestly shocked how much I ended up loving this as it took me several attempts to get past the first few pages. I eventually turned to the audiobook (via spotify) which was very well done and enjoyable to listen to as the voice actor gave the characters fun voices. This was definitely a cozy fantasy that still felt like it had decent stakes. I'd love to see more from this author!

    I knew I would hate this book from the two page long list of TW and the dedication that immediately gave me the ick. Unfortunately for me, this was a pick for my book club so I had to push forward. I haven't read a lot of "dark romance" so idk how this compares to some of the favorites. I feel like the plot had potential, but the Disney Channel-esque voice of the fmc was so annoying I honestly stopped caring about anything that was happening. Plus the mmc was so gross and creepy I have no desire to continue reading the series at all. Just really not for me.
