Thank you to the publisher for the advanced copy, but since this book has been pulled from publication, I won't be leaving a review.

Won’t give feedback given the issues surrounding the release and the fact that it has been postponed indefinitely

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Griffin for the e-arc. I will not be providing feedback at this time as the book has been pulled from publication indefinitely due to the author’s misconduct.

I will not provide an official review since the book has been indefinitely pulled from publication due to the authors misconduct.

Sapphic friends to strangers to eventual lovers, native archaeology, and angst await in the pages of If I Dig You, from the author of the incredible If I Stopped Haunting You. Once again, Colby Wilkens delivers a story that grips you until the end, filled with joy, angst, spice and a window into what it means to be native in this world we live in now. This book cements the place that Colby Wilkens has created in my library as a writer I will always engage with, and I hope that everyone gives this book a try. As an archaeologist myself, I felt that Colby represented archaeology fairly and clearly.

If I Dig You by Colby Wilkens is the perfect blend of adventure and romance with a healthy dose of "will they won't they" and I enjoyed every second of it. The banter between the characters felt so genuine, making the book even more enjoyable. From the first page, you are sucked into Isi and Louise's world and you won't want to stop reading, I absolutely love the idea of a hidden treasure and risking their lives to find it and the truth about the disappearance of Isi's mother. Overall, I would recommend If I Dig You to any reader who loves friends to lovers, action-packed, and hilarious banter in their reading.

Thank you for the opportunity to read this arc. It was a highly anticipated read, however I have decided it is not for me at present.

I'll be honest I did not read this book or rate it on Goodreads because I have heard about the controversial things that this author has done and I cannot support that type of behavior.

Thank you to the publisher for providing an advanced copy of *If I Dig You*. However, since this book has been withdrawn from publication, I cannot leave a review in good faith. As a non-native reviewer, I encourage others to research the controversy surrounding the author's representation. the author's representation.

I will not be reading or reviewing based on this book being pulled from publication, and the author potentially falsely claim indigenous heritage. I don’t know if anything could be formally communicated about this to those that have the ARC. I found out reading other reviews on Goodreads, but I would want others to waste their time reading and reviewing a book that will not see the light of day.

Thank you to the publisher for the advanced copy, but since this book has been pulled from publication, I won't be leaving a review.

after the controversy around the author's identity, publication has been pulled for this indefinitely.

i received a copy from netgalley, but that edition will be null as they're changing it moving forward.

posting this for netgalley feedback.

I was super excited to read this book. But unfortunately there was yet another author scandal with this writer. Which I only found out about after I read it. And woo boy did the writer really screw themselves.

Thank you to St. Martin's Press | St. Martin's Griffin and NetGalley for providing an eARC for a honest review.

This was a good book and one I normally would not read. I did enjoy it and read it in one day. I would recommend this book.

“If I Dig You” readsas a sort of sapphic retelling of Indian Jones set in the Appalachians.  This was a pretty quick read for me, and itwas the first time I’ve ever read something from Colby Wilkins.  I really enjoyed this storyline, thecharacters, the references to the Cherokee culture, and growing spicy tensionbetween Isadora and Louise. I loved the theme of a Native Americanarchaeologist trying to restore the historical artifacts/treasure to the tribalnation that lost it.  The romance aspectwas friends to lovers and I could definitely feel the energy between them.There was always a desperate longing just sitting under the surface that hadyou in the edge of your seat. When they finally got together it felt welldeserved and long awaited.  They havesome issues it’s sorted in a decent manner that makes sense for them ascharacters. I definitely recommend this read to those looking for an adventurefilled friends to lovers, strong and spunky FMCs, and romantic tension buildingto spice explosion. Thank you Colby Wilkens, St. Martin’s Press, and Netgalleyfor the advance readers copy and for allowing me to provide my honest feedback.

Thank you to SMP for the eARC, but I will not be leaving feedback for this title, especially with it being pulled from publication.

Recently found out that this book has been pulled from publication due to some serious allegations on the author lying about being indigenous. I will not support that so I will not be reading it or reviewing it out of respect for those affected.
