Highly Suspicious and Unfairly Cute follows Celine, an emo genius who is very socially awkward. Celine and Brad were best friends growing up and then suddenly had a falling out. Celine has a few friends and her TikTok following to keep her company in Brad’s absence, but it just doesn’t seem the same.
I liked how realistic Talia Hibbert made the characters. The thoughts and events that these characters go through are incredibly realistic and could help young adults going through the same thing to navigate their feelings and emotions. My favorite character was Brad. He had his own struggles and was oblivious to his feelings, which is very true-like to real-life teenage boys. I wouldn’t say that I was particularly surprised by anything in this story, it was kind of predictable. However, I don’t mind predictability, personally. I laughed so much during this book. Talia definitely has an amazing sense of humor. If you are into a sarcastic sense of humor, you will love this book!
I would say that this story is more for young adults who are learning about themselves, and I did not know that going into it. Which is entirely my fault. I did not research this book. But I did want to mention it in case young adult is not your jam.
Even though this story is for young adult readers, and I am not that, I would still rate this book a 5/5 because I think it would be excellent for young adult readers. Especially young readers of color.
