First of all, this is the first romcom I’ve read with a black, bisexual female lead and my heart is literally so happy because I’ve always wanted a main character that reminded me of me? 

That aside, this book made me so sick bro like shed a little one two tears for this. Like put aside my beef with British people for this. Like obliterated my sleeping schedule for this. 

Danika motherfucking Brown, the woman that you are. The one of a kind, flawed, and intriguing woman that you are. I loved every second of this book, and Zafir is literally the most perfect complex sweetheart I’ve ever met. This book was beautiful and everything about it from the inclusivity (okay Grandma Gigi!) to the raw honesty around grief and mental illness to the completely unraveling scenes had me struck. I haven’t read the other books in the series so I’m bias, but this is definitely my favorite. 

I was very glad that Zaf’s “fuck off” moment to the man who tried to talk to him at Dani’s event did NOT come to bite him in the ass, I was so scared he was about to get cancelled on Twitter or something and I just wouldn’t be able to deal with that unnecessary, stressful conflict.

I didn't know if this one could best out the last but somehow Talia Hibbert has done it again, and even better than before! Dani and Zafir are wonderful characters, both individually and as a couple, and I loved their growth throughout this story. I was kicking, giggling, screaming through the whole book, I absolutely loved it. The romance denial may have gotten a little old by the end if it wasn't so damn relatable, as someone who has also written off romantic feelings as completely a result of being "besties".

 Does Talia Hibbert ever disappoint? She continues to be an author whose books I always am on the hunt for when I step into a book store.

I absolutely loved the depictions of grief, how it's a never ending process, and anxiety, where your
know something, but your brain constantly catastrophizes it to an inescapable point anyway.

I have loved this series by Talia Hibbert! Dani and Zaf were the perfect mismatched couple with Zaf loving too easily and Dani’s heart being walled up and untouchable. And the ending of this one had me swooning!

“Because the world wasn’t split into unhappy endings and happily ever afters. There were blessings everywhere and a thousand shades of joy all around him.”

This was very cute. I really liked Dani and Zaf as characters especially Zaf’s experiences with anxiety and Dani’s fears surrounding commitment. I love how Talia Hibbert can make realistic conflicts in her stories. She doesn’t just rely on plot points or miscommunication. She creates conflict between characters based on who they are and it makes it all very realistic. Overall I liked this one better than the first and I enjoyed my time while reading it!
