An absolutely swoon worthy love story with a cast of so many friends and family! It felt deep, rich and emotional and ever so lovely!

Death of parent and sibling happen off screen and years in the past but have very real and rich impacts on the current day.

I really enjoyed this book, and agree that this is better than get a life Chloe Brown. I felt a lot more connected to the characters this time round, I loved Danni, I found her super relatable and her sense of humour was immaculate. I also Love Zafir, I found the discussion around men's mental health refreshing and was well portrayed. 
Danni is studying for her PHD, and Zafir works as security in her building. There is a fire drill and Danni is stuck inside. Zafir ends up carrying her out of the building, which leads to them going viral. Together they decide to try fake dating, naturally they catch feelings for each other and things start to get messy. 
This book is the definition of the grumpy-sunshine troop, they are both loveable well rounded characters. I also liked the slight insight we had to Chloe and Eve's life.

I absolutely LOVED this as everyone said I would. Fake dating is my JAM and this was one of the best instances I've read; the gradual, slow realisation that they weren't faking their feelings and were actually falling in love with each other was EXQUISITE. Dani and Zaf were so sweet and so considerate of each other's emotions and needs. We love a romantic relationship built on mutual trust and respect.

I adored Dani and Zaf's interactions with each other and the writing in this book was so snappy, witty and fun. Talia Hibbert truly is a master of her craft. It was great to see bi rep front and center and I know I'm going to be thinking about this book for a long time. (The only thing I'm not sure about is the Muslim rep, so I'd recommend checking out own voices reviews about that.)

Content warnings for confinement, panic attacks, discussions of anxiety, depression, racism, biphobia, loss of a family member, fatphobia.

While I could see glimpses of myself in all 3 Brown sisters, Dani resonates with me most of all. Reading about — a confident woman who is so often full of self-doubt and fear, the girl who was always smart, nerdy, and preferred books and learning to building relationships with people growing up to be the academic chasing her phd dreams, the witchy woman with wild and shocking hair — was like looking into a mirror. This book was sweet and sexy and funny. The characters are relatable and loveable. The plot is believable and best of all it’s a friends to lovers trope instead of enemies to lovers! All the romance tropes are silly to me, but Hibbert can do them all well, and this novel is no different. Finally, the spicy scenes didn’t let me down, either.
