This was cute. I will definitely be reading the rest of the books in the series, and maybe checking out the author’s back catalogue. The set-up here is that Samiah Brooks, tech prodigy working in Austin, has been duped by a scumbag, and she befriends two other women also duped by self-same scumbag.
