A review by natcatsbookishcafe
Untouchable by Talia Hibbert
3.0
This is my 5th book by this author and unfortunately it is my least favorite. But let me start my listing what I did like:
As always, I love Hibbert's sense of humor, her books always make me laugh and smile. I was surprised that I enjoyed the single dad aspect of this book (though it honestly wasn't a big focus of the story), I'd never read this trope before and found the children very adorable (especially Josh!). I though the nanny trope was handled well since Nate was hesitant about being in a romantic relationship with someone he is paying...and I think this was resolved well in the end. I also liked the depression/anxiety rep.
Now for what I didn't like so much:
I have to be honest, I got a bit bored. I though the constant " I like her but she can't possibly like me" "I seem to like him but that can't be right" "He tells me he likes me, but it'll never last" that went on for over 300 pages was a bit too much. I'm glad that in the end the MC realized she had major insecurity issues, but it sure too long enough! Over all, the story just got a bit repetitive and could have probably been cut down by 50-100 pages.
I still love this author and will read the other two books in these series and her other work :)
