Simple Meals + Honest Book Reviews + Practical Living
Holymoly this book was INCREDIBLE. Before I dive into the plot (no spoilers!) and why I loved this book, just know, that if you’re looking for your next suspenseful read, this is it. I literally could not put it down. Gobbled up in basically one sitting (and two beers).

That’s when I binged on her first four books: Something Borrowed, Something Blue, Baby Proof, and Love the One You’re With.
