I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Talia Hibbert is THAT girl.
I love her characters, their complexity and the sensitivity that Hibbert brings to their issues, flaws, backstory and quirks. In Talia Hibberty we trust, when it comes to writing healthy and powerful relationships.

Hibbert writes fun, but very realistic and healthy, romances that are somehow both light and powerful. She brings real people to romance - her characters are emotionally expressive, diverse in so many ways, and humanly flawed. Her sex scenes are steamy, consensual, and positive. I love her work for my go-to “fun read” and Channing does such a fantastic job narrating (listened in Audible)!

Both Hannah and Nate were complex characters, they had their own difficulties including depression, grief, insomnia and anxiety but they were also strong, kind, funny and really caring in their own unique ways. They almost cared too much for other people, to the detriment of themselves at points. Their only issue was the touch of miscommunication where they didn't fully explain what they meant or how they felt which led to misunderstandings and their brains interpreting and twisting the words as something other than what was meant. However, I loved how much they understood each other and could read each other.
I liked that the complexities around starting/having a relationship with an employer/employee were explored, showing the issues around power dynamics and how this can influence consent etc. It was also refreshing for Nate to talk about this with Hannah, and the level of guilt he had around this made it feel more honest and realistic, as did other people's initial responses to finding out about it.
Hannah's relationship with Nate's children was lovely, I loved how she treated them and respected them. I enjoyed all of the different family dynamics in this book, they were all unique but equally as realistic and showed the different ways family interact and love each other.
Overall a really enjoyable book, which handled some more difficult themes with care and consideration so it felt authentic and in keeping with the experiences of the characters.

Talia Hibbert just writes solid books. I always know I’m gonna get a swoony romance. Only thing that kept it from being perfect was the last quarter of the book dragged a bit for me.

Smiling giggling kicking my feet for Nathan and Hannah. I liked that it had respect in terms of the set up and didn’t feel predatory
