This was a super cute romance with some spice!

First off, I loved that it was dual POVs. I will never not be a fan of them in romance novels. I always love seeing how and when the characters start to fall for one another through their POVs.

I loved all the characters. The leads, Piper and James, were both so likable and sweet. They made a great couple.

3 Stars • Money: A Suicide Note by Martin Amis (1984) is a satirical novel about John Self, a hedonistic British ad director chasing a film deal between London and New York. His life of excess—booze, drugs, sex, and consumerism—unravels amid betrayals and a mysterious stalker, Frank. ⬇️

This was an insightful self help book on love! As someone who is perpetually single, I need all the help I can get.

It is very easy to feel powerless when it comes to love, but this book tells you what you can do to improve your love life and relationships.

The book is very accessible and is written in an easy to understand manner.
