Highly Suspicious and Unfairly Cute

By: Talia Hibbert

Narrated by: Amina Koroma, Jonathan Andrew Hume

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Brown Sisters trilogy, comes a laugh-out-loud story about a quirky content creator and a clean-cut athlete testing their abilities to survive the great outdoors—and each other.

Bradley Graeme is pretty much perfect. He’s a star football player, manages his OCD well (enough), and comes out on top in all his classes . . . except the ones he shares with his ex-best friend, Celine.

Celine Bangura is conspiracy-theory-obsessed. Social media followers eat up her takes on everything from UFOs to holiday overconsumption—yet, she’s still not cool enough for the popular kids’ table. Which is why Brad abandoned her for the in-crowd years ago. (At least, that’s how Celine sees it.)

These days, there’s nothing between them other than petty insults and academic rivalry. So when Celine signs up for a survival course in the woods, she’s surprised to find Brad right beside her.

Forced to work as a team for the chance to win a grand prize, these two teens must trudge through not just mud and dirt but their messy past. And as this adventure brings them closer together, they begin to remember the good bits of their history. But has too much time passed . . . or just enough to spark a whole new kind of relationship?

This audiobook includes a downloadable PDF of the glossary from the book.

Such a unfairly cute Romance

My expectations coming into this book was low and I don’t even know why! But I’m so glad I got it! The book follows Celine and Bradley, they were best friends now nemesis who grew
apart. A class assignment now putting them back together unwillingly. It hard for them to work together and deny their feeling for each other. Especially when they sign up for the same scholarship, that includes time away camping in the woods. They agree to be somewhat friends with benefits as Celine try’s hard to fight her true feelings for Brad. This was such a cute, puppy love, young romance. I aww’ed and cried as the characters grew and found themselves in love. So glad I read it, it was such a good palate cleanser for me. 5/5 stars

Charming and cute!

I love almost everything that Talia Hubert writes, and I really enjoyed this book! The characters were funny and had great chemistry all throughout the book. Truly a cute YA read.

Cutest thing ever

Celine and Brad are just so cute, they had me giggling. Would read this again

Very cute story with important messages

I did feel a bit out of my element listening to this story as an adult due to it having adolescent characters, but this book deserves to be heard/read by everyone of all backgrounds. A lot of themes felt progressive and the seriousness of issues faced by these teenage characters deserve to be regarded as such. From body positivity to mental health to family dynamics, ths author did a wonderful job weaving different ideals into a cute plot of- well, you'll find out. The narrators did a wonderful job voicing their respective characters, too.

Cute and Funny!

This was a REALLY cute story that made me laugh at a bunch of different points throughout. The narration was a little off; however, it wasn’t so bad that the story was hard to follow.one final though: not to spoil the ending, but I just want to say #JusticeForSophie, because the ending they gave us left me like 🥴😆
