Wow Ali Hazelwood is in her bag and I am just obsessed with Not In Love. As someone who has struggled with Ali's earlier books, and really loved Bride, it has been great to see her come into her own. She is writing what she wants. She is having fun. She is writing erotica with high tension and big conflict. The characters are messy, they are filled with so much trauma, and they love to f*ck. It's actually perfect in such a fun and sticky way.

If you like dual POV, if you struggled with Ali's early books where you have a BIG HULKING MAN and a small tiny woman, if you like characters that dive into their trauma and really peel apart why it is holding them back. This is for you.

If you love Hozier? This. Is. For. You.

I'd love to see Connor and Maya but also wouldn't want to because #agegap lol.

thank you to Berkley for my gifted copy.
