Such a fun and cute Novella! I just can’t get enough Vero. This one was more into her backstory and I enjoy learning much more about her character. Definitely meant for fans of the book series and shouldn’t be read alone.

Worth reading if only to see just how Vero got into Finlay's life. A very quick afternoon read. (As a short story should be, tho this is more novella length.)

I don't love novellas, but this was a good background store. Vero is my favorite so I was thrilled to get more from her. I would read anything in this series.

Veronica Ruiz Breaks the Bank is a short read that gives us a backstory for Vero, the partner in crazy adventures with Finlay Donovan, with also an appearance of her cousin and boyfriend.
Similarly written as rest of the Finlay Donovan series and just as enjoyable.

A short backstory on Finlay's sidekick, Vero. This delves into more details about Vero's life prior to meeting Finlay and the events leading up to their meeting. A nice and quick backstory to help fill in some missing puzzle pieces in the Finlay Donovan series.

Thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press | Minotaur Books for a digital copy in exchange for my honest review.

This is the perfect novella for Veroz story - I love this series and I'm happy to get a little more background on Vero!

The short story all Vero and Finlay fans have been waiting for! Vero’s backstory - including some of her history with Javier - is explained in the months leading up to her meeting Finlay and her family. A fun, suspenseful, and entertaining read that’s perfect for fans of this series. I received an advanced reading copy, receipt of which did not impact my review.

Veronica Ruiz Breaks the Bank was a fun, short origin story for Veronica from the Finlay Donovan series. It details what landed her in hot water and how the crazy saga started. It is as enjoyable as the rest of the series.

Finally we get Vero’s backstory. All my favorite characters make an appearance to round out this novella. This was a cute, fun, and quick read.

Vero is my very favorite character in the Finlay Donovan series, so I loved getting a glimpse into her past. Vero keeps her secrets tucked close to her chest, so her POV novella filled in some blanks for the rest of the series.

This is an awesome look into the character that is Vero and how she got her start. It is a witty and fun story. It is areal quick and easy read. Readers will enjoy the sassy style of the author. This is a really great read.

Fantastic story to give us more of Vero’s story, history, and personality. We get some of her in Finlay’s journey, but this allows us to learn more about her background and how she came to be in Finlay’s life. Would love for another novella to update Vero’s storyline in the future.

This short story was a cute lil' snack for fans of the series. We get to peek into Vero's past, which, obvi, is all drama and chaos—totally on brand for her. She’s running from an arrest warrant (LOL, classic Vero), trying to start fresh, and somehow ends up playing detective at her new cleaning job. It's got some mystery vibes, but let’s not get crazy; it’s not exactly edge-of-your-seat stuff.

The parts about Javi were, like, spicy in a fun way, and seeing how she first met Finlay? Kinda heartwarming. BUT—and it’s a big but—without Finlay’s banter, it’s just not the same. You know that feeling when you go for your fave combo at Starbucks, but they’re out of one ingredient? Yeah, that. It’s still good, but you’re low-key missing the full experience.

If you're dying for more Vero, it’s worth a quick read. Otherwise, no FOMO if you skip it. Oh, and big thanks to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest opinion. ✨ 3 stars! 🌟🌟🌟

Finally a bit more about Vero’s backstory. Even though this book is super short it’s still over the top and I liked getting more of Vero’s perspective. I felt like reading this after book 3 was a great point in the story to go back a bit and get some more information on Vero and what will obviously be the main storyline in book 4

Thanks to NetGalley and St. Martins Press for this e-arc

I’m not sure how I missed this when it was originally published because I love everything that has to do with Finlay’s world, but I’m so glad I saw it on NetGalley this time around. The perfect novella with all of the humor of a Dinlay book, and the background on Vero that I didn’t know I needed. cannot wait for the next book in the series!

This was short and sweet, as it was intended. I wish we got more interactions between Vero and Finlay, but that's alright. Because it was the perfect amount of them. I adore the Finlay series and I just read the new one on Netgalley and this one now is helping sustain me until we get a new one in the series.

I was looking forward to reading this because I adore all the others in the series! Something with the ARC file got a bit funky and a good portion of the text was smushed together which made it a frustrating experience to read. A bummer :(

This was a cute vero origin story novella!!! I loved reading about how vero ended up where she is - she’s such a great sidekick to finlay, I was ecstatic she got her own book! I definitely recommend this to anyone who loves this series.

This was a fun, quick read! If you have been reading the Finlay Donovan series and have been wanting to know more about Vero and her life before she meets Finlay I would highly recommend.

The epilogue of Finlay Donovan #5 gave me the sense that this short story about Vero is required reading! I'm doing my homework to catch up with Vero's past and get ready for book #6. This was short and sweet and I liked the audio.
