The personalities of the MC's were so unique and good it made me want to be a person like them. Their chemistry was amazing, and romance doesn't lacks at all in this book. The only thing I didn't liked was the addition of the eggs; if it just had been the murder, it could've still been better. The eggs made it slightly crowded, but the read was fabulous.

I have read a lot of her books and usually love them. This one not so much, apart from the fact that nearly each chapter was missing the last few pages, so was missing some of the story. Don't know if that is down to the download I got from Google play. Disappointed. Hope if I download another book, this won't happen.

The main character (Lilla Emerson) is very unique. I like her and her relationship with others.
