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.

All of these CWs except panic attacks

are from the main characters' pasts and

are only referenced. There is one detailed on-screen panic attack for one MC. Multiple other times they refer to and describe his anxiety.

 I loved this one almost as much as the first in this trilogy - I didn't identify with Dani as strongly as I did with Chloe but this is still firmly within the 5 star level for me. It's sweet, funny, sexy, emotional and just all around satisfying. Fake dating to real love perfection.

This book is the definition of a bisexual crisis. I don't audibly emote at a lot of books, but I eeped and squeaked and laughed out loud more times than I can count while reading this one. I'm definitely falling in love with Talia Hibbert, so if anyone knows if she's single and had her contact info please feel free to message me.
Dani was such a fun character to read about. Her witty comebacks and hilarious sarcasm were excellent, and although she may sound a lot like her sister Chloe, she felt like a completely different character. Her ambition was seriously impressive, if a bit concerning, and I honestly strive to be half as ambitious as she is. Although we can all agree that homegirl needs therapy.
And then there is the cuddly bear named Zafir. I want a Zafir. Please. He's so soft, so funny, a little grumpy man with a heart of gold. I've never cared about sports a single day in my life, but he made me genuinely curious about the rules of rugby. They were just absolutely adorable together, and I love them so much.
