I think I
enjoyed this book a little more than the second, but not quite as much as the
first during this little rereading spree of this lovely series. Laurie truthfully
is a hilarious character and I just love how she thinks through different
things. I’m so excited to finally read the rest of this series now! :)
See y’all
on Friday with a new review!
*BFCG may (Read the review to see) recommend this book by this author. It does not mean I recommend all the books by this author.
