Reviews with content warning for Death - Take a Hint, Dani Brown

I won't lie, for a second there I though Ms Talia Hibbert was going to get me to give a romance book 5 stars lol

I mean I was kind of obsessed with Danika and Zafir. Tbh I want more love interests like Zafir because he was precious. And I have never related more to an iconic, bisexual, academically stressed queen like I did to Danika.

Tbh I enjoyed it quite a bit, but just as with most contemporary romance book I read I was bored for the last 50 pages or so. The moment the story gets too emotional/happy I kind of always check out.. But that is mainly a me problem not a book problem....

This book was so cute. I liked it maybe just a little more than the first. Zaf and Dani are adorable! They have so much chemistry and are so cute together. They’re also so funny and witty. I appreciate that the third act breakup wasn’t a true breakup and was resolved pretty quickly and efficiently. The way these two grew individually and together was so beautiful. I loved it!

It was reflective and caused some great conversation between my partner and I as we discussed having similar stances on love as Dani and Zafir. Overall I liked her character development even though I kept shouting for both of them to get a grip the whole time. I enjoyed this, it was a funny, predictable and quick read I didn't want to put down once I got into it. Really good read.

First of all, this is the first romcom I’ve read with a black, bisexual female lead and my heart is literally so happy because I’ve always wanted a main character that reminded me of me?

That aside, this book made me so sick bro like shed a little one two tears for this. Like put aside my beef with British people for this. Like obliterated my sleeping schedule for this.

Danika motherfucking Brown, the woman that you are. The one of a kind, flawed, and intriguing woman that you are. I loved every second of this book, and Zafir is literally the most perfect complex sweetheart I’ve ever met. This book was beautiful and everything about it from the inclusivity (okay Grandma Gigi!) to the raw honesty around grief and mental illness to the completely unraveling scenes had me struck. I haven’t read the other books in the series so I’m bias, but this is definitely my favorite.

I was very glad that Zaf’s “fuck off” moment to the man who tried to talk to him at Dani’s event did NOT come to bite him in the ass, I was so scared he was about to get cancelled on Twitter or something and I just wouldn’t be able to deal with that unnecessary, stressful conflict.

This was one of the swooniest romances that I think I’ve ever read. I had all of these giddy, happy, swoony feelings floating around in my brain and I literally had a smile on my face the entire time I was reading Take A Hint. It was just so sweet and I wouldn’t have it any other way!

Dani and Zaf were so sweet and lovely and swoony. I loved that they were both so gone for each other (even before the fake dating) and how their fake dating made them realize that they might be more than just friends. I also really enjoyed both Dani and Zaf’s inner monologues! They were hilarious and relatable on so many levels. I just really loved them. Anyway, this is getting five stars and I’m so excited for Eve’s book! 😊
