This quick read really packs a punch! Rachel Ingalls really creates a perfect story in this really short gem of a book. What happens when an amphibian man walks into your kitchen one day? You fall in love with him. That’s all I will say. This book explores the flaws of people in a very interesting way. Give this a try!

Finished this in two days, delightful and surprising from start to finish. Cutting and hilarious social criticism packed into a sweet romantic tryst. Not exactly feel-good but definitely fun.
