Omg yet again, Talia put her foot in a book!! This story is about Rahul and Jasmine and their friends to besties to roommates to lovers live story. First of all, I love love love these characters (even tho I spent a week mad at Jasmine around page 266). Rahul spends SEVEN years in love with Jasmine and in control of himself and his feelings. However, when she moves in… phew Rahul adopts a tiny bit of Jasmines carefree spirit and bends some of his own rules. Rahul and Jasmine are perfect foils of each other and complement each other in every way. 

I thoroughly enjoyed the story so much so that I got really wrapped up in the plot. Where I had to take a break because I was really upset with Jasmine (as a friend would be). This story has it all: diverse characters, steamy scenes, an intricate yet fun plot, very thick tension between the main characters and much much more. 

I really enjoyed the writing of this book and the imagery that Talia creates is beautiful. I feel like it’s so easy with her writing to imagine the characters in real life. 4.5 stars because even though I really really got upset with the characters that meant I was really into the book and so I love that.
