I love how she is able to add aspects of culture and then even explain what she's discussing for those of us who don't know while still not making it dry. The mystery is well done and enjoyable. It doesn't feel like it's being overdone. Very impressed yet again. Can't wait to read the next one. ( ) This book author note was def prove to be true. This book is a much drarker read and deals with harder topics like depression and anxiety and does deal with the afteraffectes of book 2. I also liked how this book also expanded the world. It also dealt with the messy romance dymanics in way that I have enjoyed in contrast to other cozy mysteries i have read. I also had a really hard to predicitng the mystery. It was fun quick read and I am excited for book 3! This book author note was def prove to be true.

It was fun quick read and I am excited for book 3! So fun to return to Shady Palms and Lila’s world for another yummy food-filled mystery. Lila has PTSD and there are other things in this book that make it less traditional “cozy”, but I appreciated the realness. Once again she’s included recipes at the end which is so cool. Really looking forward to reading the next one. I liked the first installment enough that I decided to go in for Round 2. Honestly....if Hallmark can find a POC to be the female protagonist, this is a series that can very easily be adapted to their screen. Because, let's face it, there isn't much violence. It has a lot of food and family elements. AND Hallmark is getting more progressive with representation. For some reason, I enjoy beauty pageants as a backdrop. (Probably because I never have, and never will, do one). One of the characters distinctly made me picture Candace Bergen saying "This is a scholarship program." LOL. And the small town investment in the pageant reminded me of "Dumplin'" Filipino food is more predominant in this book. Like I want to try halo-halo (and will not make it on my own at first because I would NOT do it justice). Additionally, Lila is struggling with some mental health issues which make her, to me, a relatable cozy mystery heroine (as opposed to the other cozy mystery series I read). While more intense fiction is my preference, this was a good story that kept me entertained. Although....this love triangle could stop anytime. PLEASE ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
