"3.5

What a crazy world! And a wild and unique detective. Our hero was easy to root for.

Overall well-written it just dragged and I got lost a bit. I think definitely read the print, don't do audio with this one, unless you can really focus."

"4.5

Between this and My Octopus Teacher, I’m obsessed with Octopi now.

I loved the concept, loved the stories. An obnoxious protagonist kept me from really raving about the story, but overall his arc was great. "

The Maid (Molly the Maid, #1)

by: Nita Prose
Ave. Rating: 3.76
Pages: 304
Year Published: 2022
View on Goodreads
"4.5

What a lovely heroine! The author gets you rooting for her from the start.

This would've been a solid five stars if not for the ending, which introduces plot points that feel out of character for our narrator, as well as feel like a juke on the reader.

But still worth it. Will definitely read more!"

Little Beach Street Bakery

by: Jenny Colgan
Ave. Rating: 3.86
Pages: 448
Year Published: 2015 (2014)
View on Goodreads
"I have beef with the fact that this cover has a cupcake on it. This book is about BREAD! And for that, it has my heart. My heart is made of bread, basically.

This was light and lovely -- a bit sappy, but just what the doctor ordered. Jenny Colgan always delivers!
