Not me near tears over a character describing their love interest's AuDHD symptoms with adoration and awe (┬┬﹏┬┬)

I adored this book. I love Hibbert's writing style. I found this book to be funny and the characters had good chemistry together. I like that the conflict between Zaf and Dani was shorted lived and they talked about their feelings.

I have no words to express how much I loved this book. I think it might be my favourite contemporary romance ever. It is literally perfect. 

Dani was so relatable with her nerdiness and focus on work and fear of emotion. I loved how witty and sarcastic she was. Zaf was also relatable with his romance novel reading and anxiety. He was such a soft, adorable hero in the best way. The little ways they cared for each other were just so swoony. They were also both incredibly sexy so like... if they’re ever interested in a third, I’m available. 

This is also one of the few romcoms I’ve read that was actually, genuinely funny and romantic in equal measure. Talia Hibbert has such a way with words and I had a giant smile on my face the entire time I was reading this book. I know I’ll be reading it again before the end of the year. 

I also love that this accurately represents the racial and cultural diversity of the England I grew up in. So many books set here are incredibly white and it’s so wrong (especially in a big city).

I just want to give Zaf a hug (and also I think it would be nice to receive one from him).

The first chapter I spent hysterically laughing the last chapter I spent a bit teary eyed.

My 2nd Talia Hibbert and again we have an adorable couple, healthy relationship based on communication and respect, brilliant chemistry and the bond of sisterly love is there to provide warm hugs and alot of teasing when needed. 
One character has anxiety, both characters have things in their past they need to move forward from both handled sensitively. I always appreciate Talia Hibbert putting a note at the front of her books about topics covered that could affect readers.

This book is very sex positive, female body positive as well as being a fun read.

emotional funny hopeful

4.0

A fake-relationship romance between a chaotic bisexual feminist witchy  PhD student and a guarded, anxious, Muslim ex-rugby player/die-hard romantic. The sex scenes and sexual language continue to be a bit much for me, but I appreciate the witty banter and chemistry these two have, so I’ll overlook it.
