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 adored the relationship between Dani & Zafir, how sweet their friendship is before leading into an even sweeter romance. At first it seems like the two of them are so different but as you read more you begin to see that they may be more similar then you first thought. I loved the dynamic between the jaded anti romance woman with the hopeless romantic big gruff guy! It was so cute and the chemistry they had was off the charts! The banter was very entertaining and I liked how they could tease each other and hit back with a witty comment.
One thing I really appreciated was Zafir's willingness to talk about mental health and to help other young men to talk about their feelings and struggles. That was so refreshing to see a male character be so open to talking about mental health and wanting to help others with it as well. Zafir's own mental health struggles with depression and anxiety was very well portrayed and it was fantastic to see a character in a book that was going through those illnesses like so many other people go through every day. I liked Zafir's love for his family especially his bond with his niece. I thought it was so cool how he was a good uncle to her.
Dani's bisexuality was another thing I liked, how even though she was beginning to be involved with a man she still is attracted to woman. She was still involved with women in the past. How anyone who identifys with whatever identity feels right to them can still be validated and have their identity not be questioned. Also Dani's interest in spiritualism was another interesting part of her character along with her friendship with her friend. Her bond with her sisters was so heartwarming and how her sisters could see through her act to who she was. That bond was a thing I adored from the first and I am happy to see it once again here!
As with the last book there is a conflict in the third act, this one is more believable then the last one. It resolved itself quickly and in a more realistic way which I appreciated. I have to say I enjoyed this book and I can't wait to read the last book to see where the trilogy takes me!

This was really sexy, really funny and incredibly sweet and cosy. There was a whole lot of fantastic representation and I especially loved the discussions about mental health for men. Zaf is described as grumpy but he’s actually such a gentle, kind guy and he cares so much for Dani and Dani is an absolute witchy goddess - together they make for such a gorgeous couple.
I listened to this as an audio book and the only thing I really had an issue with is that I wish that this had been dual narration and I wasn’t a huge fan of the narrator. I think this might have been a five star if I had read it as a physical copy.
I would recommend it if you’re looking for something cosy and sweet with a lot of great representation and loads of funny banter.
