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

What the fuck. Is Talia Hibbert the queen of romance? I think she might be. The romance is believable and there is chemistry and it’s hot. I love her characters… I mean… a bisexual sex loving witch?! A romance reading Indian rugby player?! Fake relationship? Plants? Goddesses? Career focused woman? Fuck I love it.

This is such an amazing fake-dating romantic comedy with beautiful emotional growth plot lines surrounding GAD and toxic relationships, with a fantastically written romance and truly fun sex scenes. The representation in this book also feels so seamless and natural and non-fetishized, and contributes really well to the development of the characters’ incredibly engaging personalities. Read this if you want an amazing romantic comedy with a brilliant, funny, confident-and-insecure, emotionally-closed-off-but-growing, practicing witch, PhD candidate, tenure-track professor, bisexual, Black woman lead and her romantic, ex-pro rugby player, Muslim, Pakistani, emotionally-working-on-himself, non-profit running, family-loving “fake” boyfriend!
