So many things happened in swift succession that I forgot half of it already. The plot was predictable and the characters didn't have much dimensions and switch emotions so rapidly it gave me whiplash. It happened because it had to happen and that's it. Also Sybil's total lack of respect for Esme's comfort zone during the first part made me grimace a little too much.

I thought the mystery part of the story would be bigger, but I'm glad for all the architecture stuff. The romance was a little bit too fast for me though, as it all happened under like ten days, ‘I love you’s were already at the end. What can I say, I like my slow-burn....more

I was interested in this book because it was a sapphic romance with cats (!!!) but what I got was insta love, a singer forced to hide her sexuality by her manager and a fake straight romance to hide that fact. And when we got a very big misunderstanding that lasted for quite a bit that could have been easily resolved with just a simple conversation... That is simply not a story I want to read....more
