Take a Hint, Dani Brown by Talia Hibbert
4.0

Some weeks the world seems heavier than usual and you just to read something light-hearted and happy. Take A Hint, Dani Brown was the perfect book to escape in

It follows a classic romance trope of a fake relationship that turns into a something real, with the help of a video and hastag that goes viral.

Dani is quirky and nerdy. She's obsessed with feminist literature, fan-girls over a famous professor, and has a tendency to get lost in her own thoughts/research/writing.

Zafir is an ex-rugby player, now working as a security guard while trying to get his charity business off the ground. He has a penchant for romance novels and black coffee. Zafir is sexy and sporty. He's thoughtful, and most importantly, he's respectful of women.

Talia Hibbert writes such loveable characters. She creates characters that grow and learn to deal with whatever hardships they're going through (or have gone through). It's refreshing to see both Dani and Zafir acknowledging their flaws, their mental health struggles and the juggle of life in general.

My favourite part of Talia Hibbert's books is the banter. British and Austtalian humour is very similar, and I love the sarcastic and witty dialogue between Dani and Zafir.

If you're after a great rom-com with some steamy sex scenes you'll love Take A Hint, Dani Brown. You'll also like it if you're looking for a book with bi representation and body positivity.
