 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.

I loved the autism representation in this book. The spicy scenes were fantastically dirty and I loved it!

Absolutely flipping adorable. I really loved Eve and Jacob and I think they make such a great match. Although their timeline was incredibly fast I would’ve enjoyed more time to have passed.

A heart warming must read if you have a fear of failure and hang onto old mistakes. As a 26 yo I loved reading what is somewhat a coming of age story about a fellow 26 yo.

Lots of positive representation and conversations about autism.

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.

I have enjoyed every book in this series and I really thought book two was going to be my favorite. However, as soon as I started reading this one, I was done. I absolutely love Eve and Jacob. Their story and connection are swoon-worthy. I loved the autism rep and really felt like I could see aspects of my own relationship on the page. The spice was excellent as well! This one has given me a real big book-hangover. I just wish it would have kept going forever! 

This book counts for Popsugar 2023 for a book with the main character's name in the title.
