Very enjoyable read! Starts off a bit slow - almost stopped reading, but once you get to the middle, you get to the emotion, tension, and spice. The banter and sarcasm were rife and fun to read! The heroine was strong headed, but admits her faults in the marriage. Definitely want to read the next two in this world!

Featuring an estranged couple pulling various stunts to get the attention of the other, this book is entertaining and funny. If you're looking for a fluffy and quick read, I'd definitely recommend this book.
A miscommunication trope plays a major role in this book, so if that isn't a trope you enjoy, this book will definitely not be for you. The main couple, James and Violet, can be utterly frustrating at times. And yes, the plot could have wrapped up a lot earlier if they just talked to one another about their feelings. But at the same time, the author handled the trope in a way that drew me in and left me wanting to find out more. I see my frustration with the actions of James and Violet as a good thing - it means that Waters made me care enough about the characters to be frustrated in the first place!
There's a certain over-the-top nature about James and Violet and their scheming that can be difficult to believe. But, it also left me very curious about what they would do next, as great page-turners do. I was especially attached to the supporting cast of characters and am excited to read about their adventures in future. (So down for a West & Sophie book!)

Too much sexual content. Underdeveloped/flat characters. Plot dragged out and not believable.
