A review by tiarareadsbooks
The Intern by Marni Mann

5.0

first let me say that i have been obsessed with this entire series since i found it. i loved hannah so much in the single dad and declan had me curious. my expectations were super high. i eat up marni’s writing. there is something different about it to where it can complete draw you in and make you forget everything and anything else going on. the intern was one of my most anticipated reads of this year and it did not disappoint. i binge read the entire book in one evening. the intern had a lot of my favorite tropes and it was chefs kiss. the tension + chemistry between hannah and declan was undeniable. it burned through my skin. there was not a moment that i wasn’t rooting for them. can i tell you something? one of the best things that marni does with her writing is she keeps you on edge of the plot and STILL makes me feel super emotional about the MCs without a third act breakup. this is one of the hottest books i’ve ever read. a lot of the time there is either a really good plot or really good spice. and this has both. you feel so connected to hannah and declan— that it makes you feel like you are in their world. you could easily tell that even though in a lot of ways they were similar, they also balanced each other out. they pushed each other to be a better version of themselves. which, how can you not root for that?! i’m pretty sure this is my top read of the year. i honestly imagined how much i was going to love this book but it blew my hopes out of the water. i did not want this book to end. i just want even more hannah and declan! this entire book was perfection.
