My Review: **I voluntarily reviewed this ARC**
I'm having some mixed feelings about this one. Overall it was a really good book, but the police shooter subplot bothered me. I just feel like it was a little too real, and kind of bad timing with all the police shootings in the news. Other than that I really enjoyed the book. It had so many emotions and twists in it.
My Manicure: Coffee! I love coffee! So, obviously, a coffee shop book means coffee nails. I started with Philly Loves Lacquer 2 AM Coffee Run. Yup, even the base polish is coffee themed. Then I stamped with MoYou London Cookbook 3 and Bundle Monster Annato Clay. I think I accidentally went a little too matchy-matchy on the stamping, but I do still like the look.
