As always, Hibbert delivers characters that are unique and have distinct struggles to overcome. In this one Laura broke my heart but also mended it with her abusive ex-husband. She was so traumatized and certain no one could actually treat her right and respect her and adore her. Ugh. My poor heart. With Samir... I just loved how wholeheartedly he gave himself to Laura. He had such few hesitations before he went all in and was madly in love. Ugh. I love to see it. I stan male characters that absolutely adore their love interest.
The reason this got 4 stars instead of 5 is because not all plot points were resolved by the end. Samir could have used a bit more development. And the epilogue was revoltingly cheesy. Still. These were minor gripes for a novella that made me so happy I read it in one night (which I practically never do!).
All I gotta say is that I will continue to steadily read all of Talia Hibbert’s works because she’s a genius. She’s hilarious. Her humor is absolute perfection. And her characters always worm their way into my heart. What else is there to say? We love to see it.
