I have loved this series by Talia Hibbert! Dani and Zaf were the perfect mismatched couple with Zaf loving too easily and Dani’s heart being walled up and untouchable. And the ending of this one had me swooning!

Not me near tears over a character describing their love interest's AuDHD symptoms with adoration and awe (┬┬﹏┬┬)

I adored this book. I love Hibbert's writing style. I found this book to be funny and the characters had good chemistry together. I like that the conflict between Zaf and Dani was shorted lived and they talked about their feelings.

I have no words to express how much I loved this book. I think it might be my favourite contemporary romance ever. It is literally perfect. 

Dani was so relatable with her nerdiness and focus on work and fear of emotion. I loved how witty and sarcastic she was. Zaf was also relatable with his romance novel reading and anxiety. He was such a soft, adorable hero in the best way. The little ways they cared for each other were just so swoony. They were also both incredibly sexy so like... if they’re ever interested in a third, I’m available. 

This is also one of the few romcoms I’ve read that was actually, genuinely funny and romantic in equal measure. Talia Hibbert has such a way with words and I had a giant smile on my face the entire time I was reading this book. I know I’ll be reading it again before the end of the year. 

I also love that this accurately represents the racial and cultural diversity of the England I grew up in. So many books set here are incredibly white and it’s so wrong (especially in a big city).

I loved this book *so* much. I love Dani Brown as a character, I love our leading man, Zafir (literally the sweetest and cutest man ever put on a page), and everything that happened within this romance felt earned and rewarding. The chemistry was so on point and the banter had me laughing on almost every page. Everyone told me that I was going to like this more than I liked Chloe Brown, and since Chloe Brown is one of my favorites of this year, I didn't really believe it, but I definitely love this one even more. This book also had excellent mental health representation that really meant a lot to me.

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.
