Oh my gosh, once again Meghan Quinn had me laughing so hard at a story while I was reading in bed, that both of my dogs jumped out of bed after giving me a dirty look. That seems to happen with every one of her books I read! I may have to not read her books in bed, lol. As usual though, this was such a great story and I loved almost every single minute of it!
So many characters joining us from other books/series by Quinn. It’s like going to a place where you know everyone. And when new characters are mentioned, you can’t wait to see how they might end up in a future book. The relationship between Hardy and Everly is exactly what I would love to find. Even when they are just friends, because she’s helping him try to get his ex, Maple (seriously? What a name!) back. The banter is so much fun. The silly things they both seem to connect about, movies, foods, etc. The cute little things that become inside jokes or silly little gifts, like the Clue playing piece for Professor Plum, the matching t-shirts, etc.
And then there was the date Everly’s sister set her up on with the guy named Tomothy. Yep, you read that right, it’s not a typo. Oh my gosh, it’s like he was every single red flag there could be. And I don’t even know where to start with him licking his cat’s paws. While that guy may have been someone you don’t like, it was impossible to dislike Maple, even as Everly wanted to, because, duh, that’s who Hardy wanted to get back with. Maple was a really nice person.
There were several situations in this story, even some of the misunderstanding/miscommunication bits that I was okay with, because I’ve done similar things. Like when you don’t want someone to know you like them, and you’re sure they can’t possibly be flirting with you because you know they like someone else. Or when the guy acts like it isn’t anything other than physical, you can’t possibly let him know you thought it was more than that, you’ve got to be cool about it! So while I normally might mark down for the miscommunication bit, this one just made sense and was so real to me. I totally got why Everly took so long to believe that Hardy might actually like her.
Finally, let’s not even get started on J.P.’s new fascination spreading to flamingos and penguins, that whole crazy wild path in the story had me giggling with every email asking for donations. Meghan Quinn has done it again, and I can’t wait to read more in this series!
