5 Stairs. I don't know why I'm writing this review - I can't even find the words to tell you how much I loved this book. (But check it out anyway to see my favorite quotes.)

That’s a wrap, January! I read 13 books this month, and made progress on both the #clearyourshelfchallenge and the #2023netgalleychallenge ! I read a lot of good books this month, but The Thursday Murder Club was by far my favorite. Loved that cast of characters and will be picking up the second in the series soon.
