This gripped me RIGHT AWAY with the small town vibes and hilarity … soon I was completely lost to this novel as it also packs a cozy mystery, and absolute chaos. Toss in ‘I Love Lucy’ style antics (only more plausible / less ridiculous) and I was dying of laughter before long. Monroe is quickly becoming one of my top authors, the more of her work I read.

💛 He falls first.

💙 Scandal, lies, betrayal.

💛 Mysteries everywhere.

💙 Tons of witty banter.

💛 Trouble-making ‘old biddies’ who do more than gossip.

💙 Grand gesture—one of the best I’ve ever seen/read.

💛 Found family.

💙 Crime.

💛 Lovable canine secondary character.

💙 Personal growth in lead characters.

Overall:

I laughed, I felt tugs at my heartstrings, I was intrigued and I completely want to move to the town this is set in … and make best friends with Louie (the dog)! Highly recommend this read.

Absolutely dying for more in this world/ town. Monroe is a genius.

4.5 stars.
