This was fine! I think if you’re craving more of the Finlay Donovan world l, style of writing, and type of plot, you’ll like this one well enough. I was excited about this one because I wanted to learn more about Vero and she’s such a fun character I thought her POV would be sassy and badass. But honestly, I didn't get either of those things and her characterization was more Finlay than anything, which was too bad.
Overall, not necessary to read to continue on in the series and it just seemed like something was missing from this story to make it pop.

What happened to Vero before she met Finlay? And how did she mean Finlay? Well, this novella will tell you!
I enjoyed this little intro to Vero! I was glad to get more of her backstory and it makes me less suspicious of her as well as making her more likeable and relatable.
It had all the humor of the book; I just wish it had some spice!

This was a cute addition to the Finlay Donovan series. While it is technically a prequel, I wouldn't recommend reading it before the other books in the series. And if you choose not to read it, it won't affect your understanding of the series.
I enjoyed learning a bit about Vero's backstory and how she came to be Finlay's nanny.

OMG!!! Vero’s story is what I needed and the readers. The dedication hit me on the feels. And the ending almost had me in tears. I loved every moment of it.
