I enjoyed this, but I did feel like Hope could get kind of annoying - I guess that was kind of realistic, though, because that is probably a lot how I would come off if someone were writing a book from inside my head (all wishy-washy and unsure). The mystery was cute and I did enjoy Daphne's character a lot, though. Ahoy! The pugs do get over-the-top at some points, but you have to kind of expect that, I guess, and if you just kind of go with it, it is a lot of fun. I definitely wish I worked at the Met now - I imagine going to work every day would actually be less dread and more excitement if you worked at such an awesome museum.

This book is about a young woman who is a restorer at the MET. She brings her pug to a benefit (where other donors have brought their pugs) and chaos ensues when her pug chases after the honoree's pug. From there a forgery is discovered and the mystery takes off.
Initially, I thought this would be just a cute dog's tale but the mystery was quite good. While I was able to guess who did it, the ending still held a surprise. This is a great summer read.

There were moments where this book required me to suspend my disbelief, but I enjoyed it for the fun mystery it presented. My one major nitpick is about this line on the back cover description: "In her quest for the culprit, Hope is aided by an enigmatic detective, a larger-than-life society heiress, a lady with a shih tzu in a stroller, and her arguably intuitive canine." This line was the reason I picked up the book, thinking it was going to be some kind of quirky Scooby-Doo style mystery, but that ended up being less the case. The lady with the shih tzu hardly made an appearance and didn't really have much of anything to do with the case, so I feel a bit baited. But I have no serious regrets about reading to the end. It's a fun romp and I'd recommend it.

I found Hope to be super clingy and a bit despite to find some kind of relationship with other characters be it with Elliot, Ben, or Daphne. That's why she was so quickly willing to help Daphne cover up the heist.
