Rahul Rahul Rahul. How I love you! If there are two things Talia Hibbert knows how to write its BANTER BANTER BANTER and a love story that brings out the best in her characters, flaws and all.

Talia Hibbert really dives head first into Jasmine and Rahul’s lives, working between their past and present to reveal their relationship journey and the reasons behind their current situation. While the back-and-forth sometimes felt unnecessary, it built my connection to Jasmine and Rahul.

Of course, there’s only so much ‘will they won’t they’ one can take though, lol. At some point, I started feeling frustrated and thought “hurry up and just GET TOGETHER. What is the hold up!?”. But by the end, Talia really shows you why their love needed to be a more gradual emotional progression before they could fully love each other the way they deserved. There really is a great emphasis on learning to love yourself in order to love the other person the way they need to be loved. While I felt like there was a bit of drag, I genuinely loved the ending and the character development that led to real understanding and a fresh start.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

☆ Best friends to lovers

☆ Forced Proximity

I enjoyed this book so, so much! Rahul and Jasmine are clearly, perfect for each other and you feel that instantly.

I love the narrators and their voices were so calming. I didn’t love that they each gave Asmita a different accent??

If you love the friends to lovers trope, this book is perfect for you.
