I’ve never had a book have me at the edge of my seat like this one did. So many twists and turns! I legit said out loud WTF so many times while reading it. Hands down the best Alice Feeney book I’ve read so far. Highly recommend!

I loved this book just as much as the first three. I felt like this was the perfect wrap up to this series. Such an inspiring and heartfelt story.

I’ve never had a book make it feel like so much is happening but in all reality, not much happened at all (at least for the first 80%). I felt like a majority of it was repetitive. I didn’t see the twist with Isaac coming though. Jules was just completely insane and the last chapter gave me the absolute ick.

As someone who has worked in an office environment just like this one, this book hits hard for me. There were some slow moments in the book for me but I did really enjoy the ending!

Who knew a winter story could be so spicy! 🌶️ This book was absolutely fantastic! I was rooting for Nick and Jess the whole time. Loved that they were both writers too. I have loved all of Falon’s other books, so I knew this one would be amazing but I have to say, I think this is now my top favorite of hers! So very good!

I was expecting a full new love story but all I got was flash backs to her past relationships. It started to make more sense towards the end of the book but still not overly impressed.

This story was very unique and had some shocking twists! I did feel there were so many characters that it was a little difficult to keep up with on audio though.
