This is, definitely, a book for me. It seems like such an empowering read! I love reading well-developed female characters and it's great that these two women showcase that female friendship is, indeed, possible, because we're often portrayed as only capable of rivalries with other women. The witty dialogues and humor are amazing too!
This book will go straight to my to-read shelf. Thank you for your enthusiastic review!

From reading the sample and your review, I agree the characters are well-developed. I like that they are believable as well. It's almost like being a fly on the wall watching and listening as they live their lives. Congrats on the #BOTD

From reading the sample and your review, I agree the characters are well defined characters and believable. I am not a fan of more graphic text and attempt to stay away from this genre. I will pass on this book.

The message of this book to me is clear. The women in this book are searching for a treasure. The illusive, but is just in the next bar or right around the corner, what we all want "Love". Someone to love and care about them is what the book screams to me. The women of this story caputres the pain, joy, and excitement, searching for love brings.

Thank you for the review. I'm not a romance enthusiast so I think I'll pass on this book. I'm glad you enjoyed it, though.

Very nice review! I will probably pass on this one, however the book sounds like it has some merits as far as friendship and good dialogue.

I like that the setting is in Europe, but I’m still not interested in reading this book. I hope others enjoy!

I feel that if I were to start reading any erotica, this book would be a good one to try. You have given us a sensitive review of this book and handled it admirably, making it sound quite appealing. Thanks for an excellent review.

Generally, I don’t mind erotic but I don’t actively seek it either. I might give this one a try. It sounds like a quirky fun read. I do like that it has two perspectives to read. Thanks for the review.

Even without reading the free sample, your review would have made me ready to jump into this book immediately and I'm not into erotica novels

I do not normally read erotica novels, but this review makes this book sound interesting. I enjoy real character development and lively encounters, which appear to be present in this book. Thanks for an enticing review!

This is a very extensive review covering all aspects of the book. The book seems very different from the normal range of a romance/erotic novel. It's good to know that the novel is female-empowering. Thanks for the review!!
