Age rating: 16+ (one brief spicy scene 0.5/5🌶️)
This was such a short and sweet holiday read!! For a lot of novellas I do wish they were longer, but I feel like this one did was a fully fleshed out and emotional story within the shorter page count! I loved that it was dual POV! I believe the MMC is supposed to be modeled after Chris Evans, which we love! It’s a celebrity romance, with brother’s best friend, friends to lovers, and he’s been pining after her for years! When we talk about men who are obsessed with the FMC, this man is OBSESSED with her in the sweetest and cutest way! Abbie was so relatable and her emotional journey was so heartwarming. These two are perfect for each other, no notes. Literally loved every second of it. I do want to revisit the characters, maybe in showcasing another couple’s love story within the friend group/family? This is my first adult romance by Talia Hibbert (I read her YA debut and loved it), and now I am going to be binging all of her adult romance books.
