Hannah’s emotions, she had come to accept, were often inappropriate.

In book 1 of the Ravenswood series, we focused on the younger Kabbah sister, Ruth, but we also got the chance to meet her fiercely protective, nursery-teacher-extraordinaire-with-a-criminal-record older sister, Hannah. I enjoyed Hannah Kabbah enough in A Girl Like Her, but I can’t say I got the chance to become terribly attached to her, so I was interested to see what it would be like to spend an entire novel focusing on her (plus, I was a little apprehensive about leaving my sweet babies Ruth and Evan).

She seemed almost alien in her perfection, removed from his reality, as bright and untouchable as a star in the sky. And lonely, too. He didn’t mind the perfection, but he didn’t like that loneliness. He’d been lonely before.

Luckily, there was nothing to fear; while Ruth is still the Superior Kabbah Sister™ for me, Hannah is practically just as brilliant, and perhaps even more relatable. I gotta tell you guys, the mental health representation in Untouchable is absolutely brilliant. We see depression, anxiety, anger issues, and more — and it’s all crafted with so much love, care, and genuineness that it’s no question Talia Hibbert wanted to give us the best rep possible (as always — did I mention that our heroine is also black, bi, and plus-size? MY QUEEN).

“You’re a galaxy, and I am constantly in awe of you.”

On top of how much I adored Hannah, I can’t possibly not talk about how incredible Nate is. He’s such a teddy bear, he’s obsessed with consent and the concerns of power imbalances with his being Hannah’s boss, and he’s a wonderful father to his children. Plus, he’s a big, scary yet attractive, grumpy-looking hottie covered in tattoos. Need I say more?

The final thing I want to mention is that, if you were wondering, yes, we do get to spend a bit more time with Ruth and Evan in this installment, and yes, they are just as precious as you’d expect them to be. We also get to learn a little bit more about Zach (who you might also remember as Evan’s coworker from AGLH!) and their mother, and we get to meet a very special new lady in town, Rae, and her awesome, massive puppy sidekick — who you’ll definitely want to keep an eye out for in the series finale, That Kind of Guy!
