I won't lie, for a second there I though Ms Talia Hibbert was going to get me to give a romance book 5 stars lol
I mean I was kind of obsessed with Danika and Zafir. Tbh I want more love interests like Zafir because he was precious. And I have never related more to an iconic, bisexual, academically stressed queen like I did to Danika.
Tbh I enjoyed it quite a bit, but just as with most contemporary romance book I read I was bored for the last 50 pages or so. The moment the story gets too emotional/happy I kind of always check out.. But that is mainly a me problem not a book problem....

I love fake dating. I loved all the characters. I loved the relationship dynamics between characters.
What to expect from the Brown sisters trilogy:
1. So! much! horniness!!
2. Plus size, Black, Muslim, Queer, Neurodivergent and disability representation
3. Loveable and slightly ridiculous and dramatic (said with affection) characters/situations
4. Beautiful family bonds
5. Humor!
6. Minor/Brief Harry Potter references

This book was so cute. I liked it maybe just a little more than the first. Zaf and Dani are adorable! They have so much chemistry and are so cute together. They’re also so funny and witty. I appreciate that the third act breakup wasn’t a true breakup and was resolved pretty quickly and efficiently. The way these two grew individually and together was so beautiful. I loved it!

It was reflective and caused some great conversation between my partner and I as we discussed having similar stances on love as Dani and Zafir. Overall I liked her character development even though I kept shouting for both of them to get a grip the whole time. I enjoyed this, it was a funny, predictable and quick read I didn't want to put down once I got into it. Really good read.

The best of the brown sister trilogy! a *slight* friends to lovers with great spiritual, religious, and cultural diversity. the inclusion of social media does not feel corny. the relationship is a slower burn than in chloe brown and both characters experience a growth arc. read twice! i love love love take a hint!

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.
