Thia was a wonderfully read audiobook….probably the reason I enjoyed it so much. I got the audiobook a little early so my #authoramonth is done!

This was actually better than expected. A bit of a different story as some of these thrillers can be alot of the same.
Nicola meets James on a plane and they begin a romance. He brings her into his close group of college friends who all welcome her….but one, James‘s ex.
I enjoyed this one.

Thanks to Goodreads for the win.

1. Not really. Food where I live is either very expensive or nothing special. 😔
2. I do like food references in books I read. My most unforgettable is from the tagged book. I read this YEARS ago (wonderful book) and the main character would eat “wet” sandwiches (ie with cold slaw) while leaning over the sink. Those sandwiches sounded SO good.
