I will never stop saying it: men written by Talia Hibbert are superior. And to be honest, among them, I think Rahul might be my new all-time favorite (and thatās saying something)! The emotional maturity, the kind-heartedness, the overall gentle disposition (that becomes absolutely filthy in the bedroom)? Weāre talking green flag after green flag, my friends.
A lot of times, the friends-to-lovers trope is a miss for me, simply because the conflict never seems believable. I just think to myself āugh, if youāre in love, just get together already, why all the angst? It neednāt be this difficult!ā But with this one, I feel like I really did empathize with Jasmineās reluctance to see what was right in front of her (and then to sabotage it when it could no longer be ignored). I appreciated her character development a lot.
As is always the case, Hibbertās writing is accessible and enjoyable, I would recommend this to anyone and everyone.

Iāve loved every Talia Hibbert book Iāve ever read. This book though, is on another level. Itās God-tier. Itās not as fluffy and goofy as some of her other books like The Brown Sisters series. Itās deep, emotional, and beautiful. The characters are lovable, flawed, and honest. I canāt believe it took me this long to read.Ā
