Next Of Kin by Hannah Bonam-Young
4.0
emotional medium-paced
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

This is my first book by Hannah Bonam-Young but I will definitely be keeping an eye out for more. It was such a cute, heartwarming read. I loved both Chloe and Warren and seeing them step up for their siblings. Luke was such a lovable character as well. Seeing them both fall in love with each other's siblings melted my heart and I adored how they all supported each other. Also loved the found family aspect.  

I really enjoyed their chemistry building slowly but it soon slipped over to insta love vibes which isn’t my thing. However, they were cute enough together that I’ll let it slide. I just wish we’d had more of the same build up for the love as we did with them becoming friends. I was holding my breath prepping myself for the dreaded 3rd act conflict but it was actually really well done and added more to the story than just some drama. 

It covers some heavy topics like the foster system, addiction, and children with health issues but it’s written sensitively.

I received a copy of the ebook via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
