3 Stars ⭐⭐�

Sarah Ready's novels offer a sense of comfort for me, largely due to how easily I become immersed in the stories.

With that said, this book had the same problem French Holiday did. It dragged on for too long and could have been trimmed down. I'm beginning to question if this will occur in every novel of hers that I read. Moreover, the story's length had a negative impact on my opinion of the main character.She had me rolling my eyes constantly. The phrase "less is more" applies sometimes. That's all I'll say.

Despite the criticism, the book had an amusing cast of characters with an intriguing plot. Also, the plot twist was completely unexpected and earned major points from me.

Overall, an enjoyable read. Just wish it was shorter, which sounds like an odd criticism, but it has to be said.

I received the advanced audiobook recording of this publication via NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
