I see Talia Hibbert, I pick it up. I unfortunately didn't like this as much as her other books, but that's okay! I still had a great time reading this. And you can really tell her writing has evolved!
I felt this was TOO insta lovey. I mean...getting engaged only after a few months is wild. I also didn't feel that they had much chemistry at all. Mainly because well they don't really know eachother. The pacing was off and I felt like our characters didn't get a whole lot of mundane scenes together. Which I think definitely would have made their chemistry more convincing!
I do like the talks about domestic/child abuse though. And im glad everyone got a happy ending. Yay therapy!
Not gonna lie I did cry whenit panned to two years later and they had their daughter. Who they named Freya after his mother ♡. Such a precious moment. Especially with all of Ruben's feelings surrounding children due to his childhood. It definitelyshowed his growth.
Overall I did like this and I would recommend it!

I immediately started this after finishing the brown sisters trilogy aaaaaand was rather disappointed. One thing I will say is that Talia Hibbert is really good at creating characters and making them realistic and making them have their own distinct voices. But I really didn’t care for the male MC and therefore I didn’t like the romance between him and cherry. I did like the first couple of chapters. But after the paparazzi incident it kinda went down hill for me.
