I do not read a lot of angst in general, but man oh man, Talia Hibbert does a great job with it in Work for It. This is a book about forgiveness for one’s self, about isolation and connection, about belonging, and of course about accepting and embracing love. It is a slow character story so some may not enjoy the pace. Just so good and made me feel all the feels.

- I didn't know grumpy/grumpy was a potential romance trope, but here we are, and I loved it.
- Griff and Keynes are both learning that they deserve love and kindness even while still working through their past traumas.
- WORK FOR IT is a perfect "these dummies just need to say they love each other" book. It'll squeeze your heart until it pops, and you'll be wishing there were 200 more pages of it. Even if you don't read the preceding books in the Just for Him series, go for this one, it's worth it.
