The Calendar Crew breathes gossip, but unfortunately, it has caused many foes in exchange, even with the best of the Aunty intentions. The mystery of who killed Divina and vandalized the Calendar Crew’s new laundromat wasn’t that interesting for me. I’m not sure how to word it, but it felt disjointed, or it was a more check-in on the characters after the events of the previous books. The morally grey characters and their motivations didn’t hit for me. Overall, it felt too short for all the things trying to cram in.
What I liked was the community in the book. A lot of the cast from the previous books returned. This being the fourth book means there were a lot of names to remember, even with Lila’s introductions, and at times got messy.
As usual, the food and drinks mentioned are mouthwatering. The romance between Jae and Lila was sweet,
