• Strong character development? N/A
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.5

I like the way this book ended. Really good. Finding out some stuff about Nora was interesting. I did feel the same about her too. I like her character as well.  This was a fast book to read. Could you image trying to figure out who was trying to frame you while also being a surgeon? It would not look good at all. I like how everything came out.

This had the signature McFadden twist, but it felt a little unfinished. Like there was information and threads without explanation. Also, the narrator was not my favorite. Also can't cope with a millennial character who just hasn't heard of a farmers' market? Like get real lol
