Las escenas de sexo se me hicieron por momentos muy cringe, más que nada por los diálogos, pero igual todo lo demás fue re disfrutable. Los personajes me gustaron mucho, me gustó como se fueron desarrollando las dinámicas y también disfrute los problemas personales de cada personaje, pero parecieron originales ((??)) pero tambien bastante relatable

Cute, cute, cute.
I'm usually not a quirky or cutesy romance reader, meaning I generally prefer romances on the deeper or more introspective side. But the way Hibbert crafted her characters is just so charming and well-balanced that I found myself enjoying the more outlandish plot beats.
Chloe and Red had great, if not sizzling, chemistry. I really enjoyed the difference in their narration style. It was always really clear whose head we were in and who was speaking in a scene, which only added to the sense of the characters as fully-realized people.
I will say that I found Red's central conflict weaker than Chloe's and wish we had more exploration of it in text versus just being told he began therapy. But I LOVED the fact that Chloe's disability didn't get the "cured by good dick" treatment; her limitations and needs were always so centered and respected, which is such a breath of fresh air in the genre.
I get why these books have gained their popularity and will definitely continue on with the Brown sisters.

Overall I give this book 3.5 stars. I read the audiobook alongside the paperback for this one and I didnt love the audiobook so maybe that contributed but a very cute book. The chronic illness representation was really nice to see something other than the perfect skinny blonde MC. I did tear up at the end at Reds letter because if THAT wasnt the cutest thing!!!! The spice was very enjoyable but not as much as other reviews made it seem.

I loved every moment in this book.
Chloe Brown almost dies and as she is in shock, she finds out that her life is boring. So she decides to change that.
She gets a list and in that list she makes it her mission to accomplish things. Red becomes the accomplice and soon they are all lovey dovey.
I love their relationship. They bring out the fun in each other and for some reason it made me think of Hometown Chachacha in Netflix. The whole time I was reading this I kept on thinking, this would be a really cheesy movie scene. Their growing relationship was gradual and nothing sudden which I appreciated. Not to mention the flirting via emails..lol
Red is an artist at night and a superintendent by day. He was so sweet, lovely and caring. I like that he was able to recognise his mistakes and work on them. He was prejudiced due to his past relationship but the more I scrolled the pages the more I loved him.
Chloe was so likeable and enjoyable. As a reader I understood her motivations and how she went about things. The way she spoke about things in her life made me understand her.
I only had issues with the third act conflict because while I understood where each of them were coming from maybe it could have bewn handled differently but I got the epilogue and I can't compain.

I feel like the second act conflict felt a bit rushed in its resolution, which took away some of enjoyment I had so far. I'm also not the biggest fan of explicit sex scenes on books, less so in audiobook form (': but that one was my own fault for going in blind.
Overall I'd say it was a fun read; I like the author's sense of humor a lot and loved the way it dealt with a disabled MC without making it the only topic of the book nor the opposite of magically healing her. Will probably be reading the rest of the series.
