Rather enjoyable and completely ridiculous. The banter is pretty fun. This is in the dark rom-com realm with Butcher & Blackbird, but neither are serial killers. A singular murder happens, and it's an accident, but they had it coming. This is a TikTok trend in book form. I mean, the author wrote it after her video, sharing the concept blew up. Honestly, I mostly liked this story for Josh because he is somehow a complete golden retriever. I mean, he falls in love with Fred, Aly's cat, and adopts him as his son. What's not to love there. Overall, an okay, good time. I had fun, but I'm gonna move on pretty easily from this one.
