I inhaled this book. I was hooked from the first chapter and I didn’t want to put it down. (And thus I finished it all in one night) I don’t think I’ve ever giggled and kicked my feet as much when reading like I have with this book. It was really cute and sappy and really lighthearted which is just what I want when reading romance. (It was also really black at times and as a black queer woman I loved it and it made me smile and laugh even more.) I literally just finished reading it and I already want to read it again and again.  
Spoiler idk if this is actually a spoiler but I listened to I do, I do, I do, I do from Mama Mia during the last few chapters and that really was a cherry on top to my experience reading this.

I enjoyed reading this. I was swept into the mystery and kept on the edge of my seat for most of the book which I liked. I also enjoyed seeing how everything panned out and discovering who was guilty along with Pip and Ravi. I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book
