“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!

This was a slow burn. 
I liked both main characters and the book had more to offer apart from romance and steamy scenes.

The anxiety, grief and insecurity were well-described.

The Brown sisters are so charming, I can’t get enough! Dani is the kind of witchy woman I adore even if I think it’s silly to close yourself off from love because of what one idiot said while in the process of breaking your heart. Zafir is the sweetest grump- a former professional sports player who is overcoming his depression and anxiety and also loves romance novels. So cute! 

I did prefer the dynamic between Chloe and Red in the last book more but this was perfectly delightful for someone looking for a little “friends with benefits except oops they caught feelings!”

Talia Hibbert has a true talent for making her characters incredibly realistic while also fitting them seamlessly into a romance story.

So cute and wholesome while deliciously spicy. 
I love all the character dynamics. The supporting characters were fleshed out too.  
I love how Zafir calls Danika a variety of pet names 🥺 it’s so cute and I’m so jealous but they’re so good for each other mashAllah
The end was amazing, I loved it, super cute
