Take a Hint, Dani Brown by Talia Hibbert

3.0

Hmmmm.... why did it take me 3 months to finish this???

I do like the dynamic between Dani and Zaf a lot more than Chloe and Red... so it's going to be super interesting to see how the relationship in the third book goes.

That said, I truly have come to terms with the fact that these rom-com romance books are just NOT for me... and that's ok! Talia Hibbert's cheeky writing style makes it so fun to read regardless. Her way of effortlessly blending in such a diverse range of characters, while making them feel like real, relatable (as much as something like this CAN be relatable...) people is just wonderful. I really found myself able to understand where Dani was coming from based on her past experiences in relationships and, even though I was frustrated at her sometimes, found myself rooting for her to overcome those feelings and get to know a healthy type of love for herself and someone else.

Enemies to lovers? Great! Fake dating? Hilarious! But, the one unforgivable thing is the huge argument based on a small misunderstanding that leads to some way too dramatic words, a quick yet dramatic exiting of the room, and not speaking for weeks. Does real life actually work like that....? Talk it out like adults! Sheesh!

Despite my mind screaming no... I will absolutely be on the lookout for anything new Talia Hibbert publishes.

(P.S. Please write a book about the crazy shit their grandmother gets up to... would 100% read that and love every moment of it.)
