Wow. This audiobook kept me completely glued to the story. Shandwick is a relatively new author to me and proving to be a must read. I thought the narrator did a beautiful job providing an emotional depth and connection to the story. I can’t wait to continue the series and see what comes next.

Montgomery continues to be a one click author for me and this entry into the cozy mystery genre was a grand slam home run. Everything about this book was sheer perfection.

Try Right by Jill Brashear
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I truly enjoyed this book and found it a complete story on its own. Only after I finished did I realize I had jumped into the middle of a series of books. The author did a beautiful job fully developing the story and relationships. I loved the nod to retro Hawaii and truly felt that the setting in and of itself became its own instrumental character to the storyline. A beautiful story of relationship, connection, emotion, and love.

If you identify with Cecily be prepared for an emotional onslaught. It took me back to my teenage days obsessed with boy bands and dreaming of stardom and boyfriends. Something you could easily share with the teenager in your life.
