pickThis latest entry in the Finlay Donovan cozy mystery series is so fun full of non stop hi-jinks. I‘m not sure I have all the goings on straight. It starts off right where the last book ended. Finlay and Vero are off to Atlantic City ostensibly for a girls weekend. Some how everyone but Finlay‘s dad ends up there. Kevin Bacon makes an appearance sort of. Fast paced with a touch of romance- enjoyable escapism 👍👍💚🐉
so-soThis book interweaves the stories of a school‘s assistant principal, principal, secretary, alumni, board, and students as the school votes on a new Hall of Fame. The story was interesting and woven together nicely, but overall it felt a bit depressing and just “adults behaving badly” but not in a good or fun way. So so for me!
pickThis is an entertaining series, and I enjoyed this book. I did feel the plot was a little more convoluted that the previous books and it was hard to suspend my belief with much of this. I just hope that this story arc is over, and we can get to something else, where Finlay doesn't have to lie so much to Nick.
pickI just love this series! This one picks up immediately after the events of book 3 end, seeing our characters headed to Atlantic City. Great humor alongside some close calls ensue, of course. Can‘t wait for the next installment!
pickThis was fun. The story and characters pick up where the last sentence ended in Book 3, and all characters good and bad have a reason to show up in Atlantic City. My only issue is I wish I hadn‘t read each of these books in the weeks after publishing because I think it would be so much fun to binge this series.

Good reading week. Finished my commute book as well as the selection for the book club I moderate at work.
#WeeklyForecast
Goal this week is to make decent progress in my current reads. I'd like to get to the second story of TOaFK and about half way in GMatLP. I also need to start listening to my commute book again but it's a struggle because the narrator is not a vibe.
pickThis was so much fun. And ridiculous in all the right ways 😂 Just what I needed after my last book, which was very heavy.
pickI‘d read the first three Finlay books last year on rec from a friend. While I liked the first book, I found myself liking the second and third book less and less.
This fourth book I found I liked more than the second and third. Maybe because it felt less like sequel bait? Maybe it leaned more into the nonsense? Less? I can‘t put my finger on it but it‘s worth one more dive in if you weren‘t thrilled with #3
pickThis one was almost as good as the first one! The first one in this series was a 5 star. The middle two were 3 stars. This got so close to that love I have for the first book. I loved Vero and Finalays' dynamic again. Finlay seemed more sure of herself and a way more secure character. There were just a few things that made me say, really...? Other than that, it was a great book. 4/5
