- I've been working my way through Talia Hibbert's backlist with #LoveAndBiscuitsRead. Hibbert has always been a master of the sharp heroine, and Lizzie is no exception. I will say, however, Hibbert has gotten much better at building a believable relationship as her writing career has progressed. This book was a little too much insta-love for me - a lot of "I know you, you aren't like this" conversations when they've barely spoken to each other.
- I can't speak to how realistic the portrayal of life with diabetes is, but much of this book is about Lizzie overcoming her internalized ableism in regards to her diagnosis - something you don't see much in books, let alone romance novels.
- Also, Hibbert clearly loved a high stakes, high drama plot in her earlier work. Blackmail! Family secrets! Running out of time!

Excuse me?!? I was never planning on being a fan for a hero who has committed manslaughter and I just need to take a moment to appreciate Talia’s skill at creating different characters.
That being said he’s not the best hero ever but I’m shook I liked him at all. I did adore the heroine as she navigated diabetes, her career, her family relationship and ofc her love life.
