Although the characters are written to be lovable and quirky, I mostly found them to be shrill and annoying. The structure of the book was interesting, splitting the action between following the three leads and chronicling the last day of the murder victim. But everyone acted in hard to believe over dramatic ways.

This cozy mystery is a slow-burn whodunnit. It was lighthearted and fun to read. The author brings each character to life and I loved following the timeline of the victim in their final day. The character progression of the three women keeps you rooting for them. I really liked that this was more about friendship than romance as I feel that's always really heavy in plots and is not always needed. I can't wait to read more from this series and see where the stories take me.

Didn’t think the police officer was believable as a good detective. Giving terrible advice to her friend who is suspected of murder. Even I know to lawyer up and say no comment.
I was also able to guess pretty quickly who it was.
