Talia Hibbert

I found this to be an absolutely delightful cotton candy puff of a novel. I adored both of these characters right away and was rooting for how obviously deeply into each other they were even at their peak-nemesis era. Like, there were definitely legit hurt feelings on both sides that needed to be addressed and forgiven, but they were so clearly looking for any reasonable excuse to do so. And the banter! THE BANTER! And the book somehow felt steamy despite there being literally nothing but kissing on the page?

And while I loved both of them, special call out to Celine, who thinks of herself as mean and petty, but you gets to recognize and develop her empathy and people skills over the course of the book. Okay, but also to Brad, and his self-management skills he has learned to deal with his OCD coming in handy as a real strength over and over.

Anyway, this was unfairly cute! I loved it!… (meer)
