chronicallybookish 's review for:
Take a Hint, Dani Brown
by Talia Hibbert
!!!18+!!!
I love Talia Hibbert. And I adored Zaf with all my heart, but there were some things Dani did that didn’t quite sit right with me.
Dani decided Zaf is going to be her f-ck buddy, and even when she thinks he probably isn’t okay with casual sex, she decides she’s going to seduce him into it anyway. She just had no respect for the fact that maybe he wasn’t okay with casual sex, and that was okay. She seemed to think that if that were the case, she was simply going to not ask him about it and then seduce him until he changed his mind. And she expected him to then do that and not catch feelings. Like. What? That just felt really disrespectful to me. Also the way she treated Jo was pretty shitty.
I know she has character growth and acknowledges things with Jo, but she never acknowledges how sketchy her intentions with Zaf were.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying this was SA and I’m not even saying I’m upset that they did end up in a casual sex situation—they’re consenting adults and Zaf made his decision—but her internal monologue about it as she was attempting to get to that place did not sit right with me.
