How is it that every Talia Hibbert book has me giggling and kicking my feet? Now I also want someone to cook for me and read the books I give them.

i really enjoyed a girl like her. it was so wholesome. i adored the fmc and mmc, separately and together. i really enjoyed the representation in this book. my main thing with this book was the plot execution. it personally felt a little clunky to me. however, did not take away from how great this book is!

3.5

another small town series has my heart! in this case, it’s not really for the small town aspect because those people are a**holes BUT i do like that it was due to the small town that these two happened to be next door neighbors. i really liked ruth and evan and how they developed a friendship first, but i wish we could have gotten more of them somehow?? idk i just wanted more before they just *boom* were fucking.

Talia Hibbert continues to be the only valid writer of cishet contemporary romance. I honestly have no idea how she does it. Her books are full of things that I would not normally enjoy. In this case, there's the massive, super muscular man and the tiny, delicate woman he's obsessed with. Usually I find the genre's obsession with that dynamic to be super weird, but it was actually okay here.

I would call Evan a himbo, but he's not dumb. He's just big and strong and really, really gentlemanly. Ruth is a lovely main character with heartbreaking trauma. Her autism is written with a lot of sensitivity. Her relationship with her sister was super compelling. 

But why did Evan have to be ex-military? And so proud of it too. Oh well.

Anyway, fuck Daniel Burne, and I WILL be continuing with the series.
