I had a lot of fun with this book!!!! Like it was surprising and funny and tense. The background of a PTA nightmare was really fun and realistic but also frustrating as a Black woman in nonprofits because it’s stuff we experience all the time. I loved the growing relationship with Jack and Mavis but honestly this isn’t a romance. It’s a rom com thriller and so fun. Even though it’s predictable I still enjoyed the reveal. 

Mavis was wonderful as a character and I want to read more from her!
