Highly Suspicious and Unfairly Cute is exactly what I expected from Talia: a widely diverse cast, lovingly portrayed, and great, dry British humor. I adored the FMC, Celine, and the MMC, Bradley, was everything. The main relationship was adorable and the familial and friend relationships were also wonderful. 

Celine and Bradley start the book as “enemies,” meaning they were very close childhood friends who had a falling out as they grew up and started making new friends. But of course, deep down, they both care for each other deeply. Of course the point of the book is them figuring that out!

We have a dual first person POV and being in these characters’ heads was at once angsty AF and also hugely relatable and emotional. If you’ve watched Sex Education, these two MCs give Jackson and Viv energy and it’s INCREDIBLE.

👍🏻Recommended! If you liked the Brown sisters, you will love this. It is YA so it is not in any way spicy but it is emotionally impactful, funny and so sweet. This is the kind of book I wish I had had as a teen.
