This is not my normal read so it's low, but at the same time I think it's well written and definitely should be plenty of people's cup of tea, but I'm not one for the "cozy mysteries" usually.

This book was SO GOOD! Honestly, an amazing surprise, I love all the main character and the resolution of “who did it?” actually surprised me, which is quite hard to do these days. I laughed out laud, cried (twice) and gasped multiple times. I’d run to my roommate to tell her about it and even call my mom. Now I’m giving it to my mom so we can gossip about it. I’m super excited to read the second book and I hope there are more to come!
