emotional lighthearted

Usually I hate a third-act breakup but this one did seem to make sense with the characters.

Another brilliant book in this series - a really fun premise and gorgeous, flawed characters. Really enjoyed the exploration of autism and its impact on relationships too.

Well, this was an absolutely delightful trilogy and ended with my favourite read (and couple!) of the bunch.

Eve & Jacob are two absolutely tender-hearted souls hiding deliciously dirty sides. Their sexy times are absolutely 🔥🌶🔥, I wish there were more than the 2 scenes because they were smokin' hot!

Fave in the trilogy for sure! I adored Eve and Jacob and loved their chemistry too, plus the cameos from Chloe & Dani were excellent little callbacks. Although I am not autistic, and can’t comment on the accuracy of the representation, I appreciated how meeting and getting to know Jacob helped Eve better understand herself.

the autism rep in this is just....chef's kiss. eve brown is a character i see so much of myself in that it sometimes hurts. every moment of this book made me feel something, much like the first two books in this series. speaking of which, i can't believe i'm done this series - cue the depression. i guess it's time to buy TH's new YA romance to ease the depression of being out of Brown Sisters books to read.

*squeal* Ok, it’s official: this was my favorite one in the series. I’m obsessed with Eve and Jacob. The autism representation is wonderful on its own, but I really loved how purposeful Hibbert was in establishing the validity of self-diagnosis.

A formal diagnosis was important and helpful to Jacob growing up, but in Eve’s case, it’s enough that she knows herself, and doesn’t need anyone else to confirm it for her. I love that! It’s so representative of the spectrum of people on the spectrum (forgive me, I couldn’t resist) and their wildly varying needs.

Now that I've completed this series, I can state unequivocally that Talia Hibbert is one of the best romcom authors currently writing. She writes books that are actually funny and completely focused on the romance, both things that are sorely lacking in most of the newer romcoms being released. The balance of humour, steam, and mushy romantic moments is just right. I'm not sure if this one or Dani's book is my favourite (edit: upon further reflection, Dani's book is my favourite), but I enjoyed the hell out of this entire trilogy.

I loved how Eve's chaotic brand of charm balanced out Jacob's calm and orderly ways. Yet deep down, they had a lot in common and forge a deep connection. Their banter was top notch, especially in the first half. They don't like each other but they never go too far in saying something truly hurtful. It was wonderful seeing Eve understand why she might be different (undiagnosed autism) and connecting with Jacob, who has diagnosed autism, on that level too. It was just utterly delightful and I smiled the whole way through. The only thing I didn't like was that I could see the third-act breakup coming from a mile away and it filled me with dread, though I appreciate that it wasn't dragged out for ages. The way it unfolded felt a bit unnatural though, from the way Eve's family acted to the miscommunication.
