Talia has become an auto-buy author for me.
“Get a Life, Chloe Brown” gave me everything I love in a romcom and more. I got fun banter, I got diverse characters and I got important, sensitive topics being discussed with such care and realness. Crohn’s and Fibromyalgia are different but I related a lot to some of the symptoms that Chloe experienced. I fell for all the characters’ personalities and the pacing of the story felt so natural and real. I think this is the first time I didn’t even mind a third-act breakup because of how well it was written and how reasonable it felt to the storyline.
I’m so grateful for stories like these with disability representation that show that people who are disabled deserve to and can be loved like everyone else. It’s something I needed especially right now as I experience difficult days in the hospital because of my own disability. Even though I may feel like it sometimes, I’m not a burden, I’m not a setback and yes my chronic illness may cause challenges but I deserve a fun, fulfilling life.

Very very cute. Found the characters likeable and fully formed. The sexy parts are verrrry sexy. Made the mistake of listening to the audiobook while driving and damn near crashed on the highway. Don't do that.
Excited for the rest of the series!

Very cute, unbelievably cute. I adored these characters. Shout out to a reverse grumpy/sunshine. I loved all the representation and character growth. Am I disappointed in that 3rd act, slightly but less than normal.
Romance, Reverse Grumpy/Sunshine, Hate to Love, 3 🔥
“That’s how people should behave; they should fill in each other’s gaps.”

One thing about me I am gonna fuck up a grumpy/sunshine pairing, ESPECIALLY if one of the characters is disabled and it's normalized/accommodated. EAT YOUR HEART OUT TALIA HIBBERT!!!!!

I read and loved another Brown Sisters book last year and I was right to finally pick up another one. This author truly has a way of writing simple but real stories with characters that are deeply flawed yet so incredibly likeable and relateable.
I saw so much of myself in the MC. And seeing her learning to take a leap and break through her conditioned behaviour is honestly a little healing, especially when it comes to dating and relationships.
Really enjoyed this book, really connected with everyone. We love a man written by a woman. We love good representation for black people, Plus-Size people, and disabled people.
This just made me chest feel a bit warm and fuzzy and made me feel a little bit braver to stray from my set ways of life that may be comfortable, but aren't actually helping me in the long run.
