Reading this one now and so far, so good. However, I was a bit thrown by the heroine's nickname since it also happens to be the nickname most of my family and friends call me, lol.
Picked these beauties up today. On the shelf at a nearby Walmart a bit early. 😁
My print copy of The Backup Plan by Jill Shalvis has arrived! So stoked. Jill is one of my all time faves, and always an autobuy for me.
