We love a slice of life. That's what's great about this - it's a total break from the intense plot of the rest of the series so far. 

Misses 4 stars for me because the book, while a good & easy read, missed a depth that would have pushed it over the top. Really liked it though!

This book is good, but not very memorable. It’s like a Christmas special. There is some important information, so I wouldn’t skip it. But not much happens in terms of plot. Some lighthearted moments and overall an easy read.
