I had to work hard to get into this book! The beginning felt slow but I also took issue with how terribly Griff was described by his love interest. Of course it also helps to track how Olu is feeling towards Griff because as his feelings grow stronger, his assessment gets kinder. Overall, I’m glad I stuck with it until the end!

Listen. At this point can we all just agree that Talia Hibbert owns my heart and move on? I love her books and have begun to believe she has a cheat sheet on how to make me melt every time. That’s it. Thank you.

I really wish I loved this way more than I did. Talia is one of my favorite authors but I guess you win some, you lose some.

This is a mlm romance, which I didn't know because I only picked it up because I like this author, but the book was really pretty.  I wanna say Griffin is in the autism spectrum, the same way the author is but I could definitely be wrong. I really liked the characters and how they engage with each other and their friends, and how they develop and come to their own realizations.
