✨ 9/10

I laughed out loud on the subway because of this book. It's funny, sweet and heart touching at the same time, with a flavor of spice and tension.

Quick synopsis - Cricket went viral, but in a bad way. To escape the trolls - virtual and the ones in her family, she goes to a winery, which also acts like a shelter for women who have seen the dark side of Internet and ai. She meets Heath, a single dad and the stay-in handyman of the house. Cricket finds friendship, love but more importantly confidence and self love 💕

My review - The topic is so sensitive but Pippa Grant has presented it in a humorous way while maintaining the sensitivity. The found family trope is so strong in this one. I think halfway into the book, I had started to consider the characters my family. 🤌

And the spice! First of all, I love a good tension between characters and this one delivers it. The alternating point of views kept me on the edge. It's a torture I like 😉. Then the actual spice is hot.

And in the end, when they both stand up for each other 😭 if I ever want a man written by a woman (who doesn't) I would like Pippa Grant to be one of the authors writing him.

The book felt a little slow at the halfway point but picked it up soon. Do read this one.
