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.
