I enjoyed this book quite a bit. It was pretty similar to her first one, so if you liked that one, you will probably like this one, too. I actually think I liked this one more.

Seriously, all these characters do is go from one meal to the next. And you […]
This book is definitely extra.
I have so many THOUGHTS about this book that I am going to go the other route and only hit the highlights.

Spoilers for the first two […]
