I really think there ought to be more Brown sisters. (Or Jamal and Kiran?!)
This one with two very different autism brains was adorable beyond words. It brought my heart joy to see Eve representing the female, late diagnosis crowd that flew under the radar because we weren't like Jacob. Hibbert tends to avoid labels, so I found it interesting that this one not only begins with them but also calls out the other Brown sisters as probable ASD brains too.
Endlessly in love with all of Hibbert's richly developed characters. Even though this series includes labels, it's used to force the reader to struggle with what that label really means, because none of these characters fit their label's stereotypes.

I really enjoyed the first half of this novel. The banter between Jacob and Eve is really well done and I think their relationship develops at an appropriate pace. Their interactions with each other are really sweet and cute. The novel veers on having too many characters, especially with Mont's sisters. If the reader hadn't read the previous titles in the series, it would be difficult to keep all the characters straight.

I did not like the
miscommunication and 3rd act breakup tropes
used at the end of the novel. Unlike the use of these tropes in Get a Life, Chloe Brown, these tropes felt more like they were being used to extend the length of the novel than to explore the characters some more. I found their romantic relationship to be a bit fast for my tastes. They go from strangers to in love in two weeks? Maybe I'm too much of a skeptic, but that feels too fast for me.

This book is just a sweet heartwarming book and as an autistic person reading about two people on the spectrum finding each other made my heart flutter. Close to the Ending there was an unnecessary problem, it was a little rushed. But it ended sweetly.

If you’re interested in reading something fluffy with a bit of angst. Here is your book.

Another great book by Talia Hibbert. I’ve enjoyed this entire series and loved how Eve and Jacob’s story evolved. Eve has hands down been my favourite sunshine character in a very long time. And her brightness was perfectly offset by Jacob’s grumpy demeanour.

Adorable, bright and cozy! Mostly sweet, with a good dash of spicy! Enjoyable banter, delightful fully-former characters, and a really lovely example of deep dislike/irritation to lovers. I really enjoyed the thoughtful depiction of neurodivergent characters. As an ADHD girlie, Eve’s strengths and struggles really rang true, even if her journey is a little different. I love a book that follows an MC who falls in love with so much more than a man. (Even if that man is truly wonderful.)
