Wrapped Up in You

Guys, Talia Hibbert can do no wrong. This novella is so cute and perfect to read for the holidays. The banter between her characters in every book she writes is some of the funniest content I've ever read. I was cackling out loud alone in my apartment. She has the perfect way of portraying anxiety in her characters, while making it relatable and funny. I found myself saying “omg, I literally think this all the time” multiple times while reading. The romance is steamy and cute, and I cannot wait for her to release more books. She has become one of my top favorite romance authors.

I really enjoyed this book. It was my first audiobook that I didn't read along with it and it went so well. They are seriously such an adorable couple. Abby was so awkward and adorable, then there was Will.. somewhat cocky (not in a bad way) and a total softie for Abby. This was also my first book that I've read by Talia Hibbert so I'm very excited to read more soon!

I very much did not enjoy this book. Too rushed too many unnecessary paragraph dumps of unexplained word salad. The character potential to be something cute if the story had taken time to focus and flesh them out more. I usually enjoy established relationships but this just didn’t hit the way I thought it would.

This was my first time reading a book by Talia Hibbert and I had a hard time adapting to her style. The characters are stuck in their internal monologue it feels like 75% of the time. Not much...happens. They think stuff. They feel stuff. They think a lot of stuff and feel a lot of stuff between sparse lines of dialogue and I couldn't keep track of what they were actually saying to one another. There were some funny lines, but her humour didn't really resonate with me. Peppering thoughts with swear words doesn't really make things funny like a witty incisive comment does in my books. I know a lot of people love her stuff, but I felt this one really fell flat. I wanted to read a Talia Hibbert book because I'd heard good things about her inter-racial relationships as well as writing about ‘normal' body types instead of the genre romance archetypes. The cover promised this but very little detail was given about this aspect of their attraction to one another. I supposed that is one way to write about it, that it's a non-issue, but I was kinda disappointed.
