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!

This is a -cute- book. The characters are adorable, in an elderly person type of way. However, I felt that it took forever to get into. The pacing was weird, the ever changing narrative was a choice. It was enjoyable

I listened to the audiobook instead of reading it so take this with a grain of salt: the writing was just alright.

The characters were very lovable, and for a mystery novel there really weren't that many loose ends.
