So much joy! Absolutely loved this one, I think more than Chloe, but it's been so long since I read even a vaguely interconnected series that it still made my heart so happy when Chloe and Red made their appearances. It made so excited to pick up Eve Brown, which I'll deffo prioritise in 2024.

Obviously Dani being bisexual made my queer little heart sing, and it was woven so seamlessly into the storyline. I resonated with Dani a lot, as I'm also not a *huge* romantic (probably not to Dani's degree), and I also like to prioritise my passions which I think would put a lot of people off (what do you mean you need to read for 3 hours now?). I was positively glowing whenever she realised Zaf would accept her for who she is.

And Zaf - what a sweet man! I'm not into men but anyone can see he's a winner. There's surely no man in the real world so in touch with his own feelings and boundaries. Reading his romance novels, dreaming of a happy ever after, teaching teenage boys how to grapple with their own feelings & mental health... a dream man. The dynamics between him and Dani were perfect, no notes. 

The cast of supporting characters were also lovely, although I wasn't too keen on Saoirse actually. Can't put my finger on why, possibly the narrator's weird combo of accents she put on when narrating her parts lol. But Dani relying on her sisters for support, Zaf's relationship with his niece, sister-in-law and mother, all were beautifully done. 

The humour was spot-on, great amount of tension, and of course a happy ending. Loved it!
