I’ve indicated what prompted me to pick up the book, otherwise I likely either had it on my physical bookshelf or it was on my Libby holds list through my library because I enjoy the author or heard great things about the book. Shout out to Rakestraw Books and Modern Mrs. Darcy for the reading inspiration!
