I have heard such great things about this book and I FINALLY had a chance to read it! I really fell in love with Chloe and Warren (and Luke and Willow!) and felt like their characters grew together well throughout the story. The flip from grumpy to in love for Warren was a bit sudden for me, but I was glad to read a book without the 3rd act breakup. I also loved the ASL representation in this book, especially the inclusion that Chloe and Warren always exhibited. I’m excited to read Lane‘s story!

SO SO SO GOOD!! i have heard such good things about this series and holey moley, this was amazing. i loved warren and chloe so freaking much. like i was hooked in from the jump with chloe in the supermarket - hannah’s writing is so engaging, had my heart thumping, and was all around like a big hug. i loved that this didn’t have the typical 3rd act breakup - it was realistic & resolved realistically and i was so happy about that.

When the bandwagon beckons, one must jump on!
 Next Of Kin is the indie darling from Canadian author Hannah Bonam-Young, and I've seen praise for it all over Bookstagram. Now I know why!
 This is not only the love story between Chloe  and Warren. It's got substance, grit, spice, and emotion. 
 Chloe is asked by her estranged mother to take custody of her newborn baby sister. Warren has custody of his teenage brother. As those new to next-of-kin care, they are put together in a program to share housing and provide support. 
 The characters and dialogue feel realistic in this story, and I as a reader became so invested. There is some great rep and measured building of relationships. 
 Absolutely recommended and I can't wait to read the next in the series, Next To You.
