Reviews with content warning for Death of parent - Wanna Bet?

This isn't a bad romance story per se I just realised I do not like when the relationship between the MCs is already existing for one bc it's more show then tell and also I am not able to connect with the MCs and can't relate to their feelings.

I mean they are already really close friends and I don't see why and they were already attracted to each other so it kind of feels like you are thrown into a story even if there are a few flashbacks.

But I appreciate that the fMC is the one who has commitment issues and the mMC is the patient one who is okay with being the only one giving(love) as it is often times the other way around.
Jas in general was an interesting and honestly fascinating character to read about and I loved her growth and self awareness.

Spice(quality&quantity):
2/5
It was there, somtimes also detailed and explicit words were used, but the "vibe" was not always there.

ok i REALLY liked this book. i truly don’t know why i’m withholding the 5-stars, i just don’t feel like it’s a 5-star book for me.

but that being said this was a REALLY good book. i loved the characters, loved the story, loved the diversity, loved the growth just AHHHHH.

actually i just figured out why it’s not 5-stars for me. watching ppl self sabotage really gets to me. like i just hate it. when someone has a clearly good thing in front of them and they just r willing to throw it away. i get irked.

which i think that the fact that i’m still able to give this book such high praise when self sabotage it running rampant through this book, speaks volumes.

just a really cute, amazing book

Talia Hibbert does it again! This book is a perfect friends-to-lovers with amazing spicy scenes. I know some people find friends-to-lovers a little boring, but the passion, events, and character development keep this book engaging from page 1 to the end. I love Talia Hibbert's ability to write lovable characters with realistic character flaws and progressive character development. This book features a diverse cast and my favorite: a happily ever after. The banter between characters had me laughing out loud. i finished this book in one day! (It has light mentions of alcohol dependency and discussed parental death and parental neglect).
