AN AFFAIR IN MUNTHILL by Takerra Allen
One of my top reads of 2026 and without a doubt, a book that will stay with me.
This book honestly snuck up on me. It wasn't a story that immediately gave me everything. Instead, it slowly unraveled, layer by layer, taking me through twists, turns and moments I didn't see coming.
And then there was Mavi. 😮💨
Mavi “Power” Magana is EVERYTHING. His intentionality, the way he shows up for Gaby, the respect he gives her and the way he makes her feel seen completely stole my heart.
But Gaby's journey is just as powerful. Watching this strong Black woman navigate everything life throws at her and slowly realise she deserves to be loved, chosen and cherished was incredibly moving.
There were moments that made me swoon, moments that brought me to tears, and moments that I know I'll think about for a long time.
Some books you finish and move on from.
This is not one of those books.
An Affair in Munthill snuck up on me, completely stole my heart, and has firmly earned its place among my favourite reads of 2026. 🖤📚
🗨Who is a book boyfriend you didn't expect to fall this hard for?
Because Mavi has me in a CHOKEHOLD.
