I loved this. I felt like I was sitting in her fabulous Paris apartment while she told me all about her life. What an amazing woman.

This was a fun, campy ride but it didn’t capture the magic of the first book for me. It just felt a little flat in parts but I still had a good time.

This was such a sweet ending to such a lovely series. I loved the grief & therapy rep. I’m so bummed the series is over but I can’t wait to see what Kristina has planned next!

This was cute and a fun time, I just didn’t fully connect with the characters. I didn’t mind that it wasn’t completely period accurate but some of the modern dialogue took me out a bit.

Wanted to read something a little gritty to help stave off a book hangover after reading Deep End and it kind of worked. Wasn’t great, wasn’t terrible. I definitely would not say it could be read as a stand-alone, there were so many references to the previous books that weren’t recapped at all. I read interconnected stand-alones out of order all the time with no issue, this one was a little trickier.

Everything this woman does is magic and I am absolutely obsessed.

I clocked Pen right away and was so glad when we finally had an excuse not to like her. I get that she had personal growth and blah blah but I still hate her lol
