My allosexual friends struggle to describe what sexual attraction is… I think I understand after reading this book 😂 As a sex repulsed asexual person, I don’t read a lot of adult romance and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the books despite the fact that they were so horny.
What to expect from the Brown sisters trilogy:
1. So! much! horniness!!
2. Plus size, Black, Muslim, Queer, Neurodivergent and disability representation
3. Loveable, slightly ridiculous and dramatic (said with affection) characters/situations
4. Beautiful family bonds
5. Humor!
6. Minor/Brief Harry Potter references

A lot of stuff felt so repetitive. Each time a new smut scene appeared it felt so similar to the last one. Not to mention some scenes had such a weird build up and many things were said in a rather weird way. One sentence in particular creeped me out and that's the moment I decided to not finish this book. It clearly is not meant for me.

- This was a true romantic comedy (emphasis on the comedy).
- Hibbert is a master of writing chemistry and spice. 🌶
- The protagonist’s struggle with fibromyalgia is written in a really authentic way, and I appreciated that the character was surrounded by supportive loved ones.
What didn't quite work for me:
- The pacing felt a little off. I felt like the enemies-to-lovers transition happened really quickly, and I would have loved to see their relationship evolve in a slower and more complex way.
- I also just wanted to see Chloe's other relationships developed out a bit more. It was clear that her sisters were an integral part of her life, but I felt like those relationships weren't given quite as much attention as they could have been.
Overall, I enjoyed this one & would happily read more of Talia Hibbert's books!

I loved how fleshed out both the characters were, and both had backstories and valid reasons for their reactions, which made the conflict far more believable despite the fact that I don't particularly enjoy miscommunication and a third-act break up.
I thought the representation was great and really added depth to the story, though I haven't experienced the things represented in this book so take my review of this with a grain of salt - those who are being represented may have a more valid take on how good the representation actually is.
Talia Hibbert's writing style was fun and quirky and the banter was amazing. I really enjoyed her writing style, but I can see that it may not be for everyone.
The only very slight negative I had was that the MMC gave me a little bit of the ick at the start when he was (in my opinion) oversexualising the FMC when he barely knew her, but I think that's more of a me/personal preference thing.
I am definitely reading the rest of this series!
