This 😭 book 😭 oh 😭 my 😭 god 😭

Emma you have done it again! This book was so fun to read, and had me in all the feels 🫶 I can’t describe how relaxing it was to come home from school each evening this past week or so, and curl up on my bed with a coffee and my kindle reading this book!

I was theorising and guessing throughout the entire book (and was also very wrong, I formally apologise to the characters I wrongly accused in my kindle highlights). I read the last 150 pages or so at work and oh my god?? I had to hold back tears at my desk and I couldn’t hide my jaw DROPPING.

This book now has me in a chokehold, and the quotes are SO memorable. I loved the little shoutout to Lilz and Owen! And now I NEED to try every sort of item on the seasonal menus at Lianne’s 🫶
