Thank you to the author for the advanced copy.

☆ heiress X bodyguard 
☆ ex-mafia

I feel like I’ve been waiting forever for Cordelia and Victor’s story and it didn’t disappoint. 

Cordelia is such a loveable FMC. She’s neurodivergent, like me, which was refreshing. It’s always nice when you can see yourself in the characters you read about. 
Victor is an amazing MMC. He loves Cordelia exactly as she is and doesn’t want her to change anything about herself and I just love that. 

This book was definitely worth the wait and I can’t wait for Snow White’s story!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

☆ workplace romance 
☆ forbidden romance
☆ he falls first 

This has been one of my most anticipated books of the year and it went beyond my expectations. I absolutely loved this. 
I think this may be my favourite of all of Ali’s books. 

I adore Rue and Eli as a couple. Their chemistry is fantastic and I love that they actually talk things through like adults. 
They act their age which is something that I really need in a book. 
I’m 30. I can’t enjoy something if the characters, that are around my age, are acting like they’re in high school. 

Rue was extremely relatable to me. Terrible brother and likes to be alone. 
Eli was kind and sweet and called people out for saying ‘girl’ instead of ‘woman’ which I LOVED!
