This book was such an overwhelming joy to read! It was fun, funny, fast, tense and entertaining! 

I absolutely love that the FMC was: 
-triumphantly logical 
-in their early 30s
-plus-size 
-chidlfree by choice 
-single and thriving 

This was an absolute unicorn of an FMC and I am HERE FOR IT! 

This was also one of those rare moments when the FMC isn't the one who broke the cycle of generational trauma, but her MOTHER was and we got to see what a health, mother-daughter adult relationship looked like while also addressing and acknowledging what their mother went through. 

This was such a unique story with lovable characters (an absolute MVP of a vulture) and I enjoyed it from start to finish!
