I do wish there were more reference sketches and less stills from the movie, but still really enjoyable!

"Hook, Line, and Sinker" is the second book in Tessa Bailey's Bellinger Sisters duology and I liked this one a bit more than the first--and I really liked "It Happened One Summer!"

Like the first book, this is a small town romance but instead of opposites attract, this is a friends to lovers romance. Bailey kept the humor from the previous book, but introduced some heavier themes that helped differentiate "Hook, Line, and Sinker" from "It Happened One Summer."
