I can't write books so I review them instead
I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I had no idea that this novel was a part of a series, but it became fairly obvious after the first few pages. Nevertheless, I decided to read this novel and base my opinions on only this one story.…

I received this novel as an advanced copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. There was a time when I used to love chick lit. I mean, Sophie Kinsella was my go-to author and I loved the Shopaholic series with a passion. I don’t recall when I decided to move on from that…
