"This relates to my Maggie O’Farrell obsession. She recommended Lucia Berlin in an interview I read a few years ago. So, like any good stalker, I checked it out. These stories feel very contemporary. I suppose if I’ve learned anything from reading, it’s that people don’t change very much through the ages. Our personal problems and our joys are entirely relatable, whatever the era. The women Berlin writes about seem entirely real. You can feel them in the room with you. There is humor and real beauty in her words. If I was the underlining type, these books would be heaving with biro. But I’m no vandal."

4.5 stars.

I thought some of this book was ridiculous but i fell in love with it anyway. Especially Roman and his relationship with Kasha. Oh, and her robotic arm. Not that i didnt love the rest of the cast but those two were my favourites. These girls got up to some right mischief but still managed to win two amazingly hot guys. I was in stitches quite a few times with their exploits and didnt want to put the book down at all.

Definitely recommend this if you like contemporary romances with quite a lot of humour in them. I look forward to reading more books by these authors.

I read the first book [b:No Weddings|22052891|No Weddings (No Weddings, #1)|Kat Bastion|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1406701175s/22052891.jpg|41380159] back in 2014 and i really liked it then. Now, i dont read so many contemporary romances but i did want to see what happened next with these guys.

I do love Hannah and Cade together but the fact that their will-they/won't-they thing has been stretched into two books before they finally get around to doing the deed and then their story continues into two more stories...well, I'm not sure if I want to continue their tale.
