Highly Suspicious and Unfairly Cute by Talia Hibbert
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.75
I got this book for my birthday after seeing @shesreading01 on Instagram recommending it (she always has the best recommendations by the way, so go check her account out) and was expecting it to be an average 4 star YA contemporary romance that I enjoy but isn't something super special but while it's not a new absolute favourite, it was more than I was expecting for many reasons.
First off I'd assumed it was based in the US as a lot of YA contemporaries are but instead, it's based between England and Scotland, and if you didn't know I live in Scotland and love UKYA, specifically that has an element in Scotland. While the part in Scotland wasn't massive it was there and I really enjoyed it, the part in England was also something I really enjoyed because I could relate to a lot of what the characters said and it's stuff that aligns with my life, like Maccies, Bonfire Night or Boots, to steal some bits from the Glossary. I also did Duke of Edinburgh this year (and am glad it's over) so the expedition bit was another bit I could understand and relate to.
Some other bits I liked include the dual perspectives, fantastic things to have in romance novels that I'll always love, the OCD rep, and the characters who I fell in love with so quickly and love. Possibly my only complaint is that it did end quite quickly and I would have loved more time after it finished both of Brad and Celine and the ending of that night because I was looking forward to what they were doing with their friends afterwards, but at the same time the ending was done really well.
Highly recommend for many reasons, really enjoyed it and am so glad that I read it.
