I had read CHANGE OF HEART (2024) by this author and loooooved it: the love story, the story telling, the fictional community, and this book was suggested at the end because it told the story of other characters in the book.

I’m glad it was there because the cover and title don’t match up with the story at all, and I otherwise wouldn’t have picked it up.

I was laughing and charmed right from the start (whatever my face was doing had people ask me what I was reading), and wanted to see it through to the end. Immediately picked up the next book on the series as soon as I read the last page.
