Talia Hibbert has done it again!!!

I didn't like this book as much as A Girl Like Her, but that's mostly because this one was too short for any real character development, but I liked it fine as is.

The depictions of abuse in this book are really intense. There are detailed content warnings by chapter in the opening, and I definitely recommend heeding them if you've ever experienced or been close to domestic abuse or intimate partner violence.

Laura and Samir are sweet and sexy, and I like them a lot. Daniel can eat shit and die.

This whole series is weirdly obsessed with having the characters form nuclear family units with children, and I really don't like the framing of that as THE happy ending, but it's working for these particular characters so far, so whatever.
