This book was really great. A romance novel exactly to my taste. Really great chemistry, really funny and also serious and interesting. It is a classic romance novel but still it somehow felt fresh.

I liked it better than Get A Life, Chloe Brown but I definitely want to reread that book now. Also I haven't read the Dani Brown book yet but I'm super excited for that one!

I don't know much else to say about this book except go read it. Or listen to it as an audiobook which is what I did. :)

LOVED. Absolutely loved. I know I say this about a lot of romances because I'm just that good at picking the right books to read. *chuckles aloud*. BUT this book was just different. Not just was the representation immaculate, but the love story gave me a tooth ache. I am just such a huge fan of grumpy x sunshine perhaps. Either way, their banter when they "hated each other" was nothing short of hilariously entertaining, and their quick growing love was nothing short of adorable. There are simply no negative comments I have about this book. Jacob was the grumpy with a heart made out of sunshine, but Evie was the heart. Theres simply no other way to describe it. I loved hearing about their love from different perspectives. The fact that they fell in love in 2 weeks wasn't even too surprising. Not just because I get attached too easily but mostly because it would be impossible for two people so made for each other to be separate for very long. They were just the most delightful couple. That's how I'll end this review. No negatives.

Eve is the best Brown sister, but 
Zafir is the best love interest, but
Get a Life, Chloe Brown is the best book in the trilogy. 

I won't accept any discourse on the matter. 🤷‍♀️

I am so sad this series is over. This one is just as stellar as the others and I loved it too. It was relief to have Eve look into autism and see herself and her sisters in the criteria but also not be upset by it. And poor Jacob, just so bowled over by her, too sweet. I very much look forward to seeing more from this author.

I am genuinely so sad the brown sisters trilogy is over. I almost gave this book 4.75 ⭐️ and then I realized I am so sad that it’s over and want to reread it immediately so I gave it 5 ⭐️…. And I think I’m gonna go back and adjust the others too. Now I need them in my collection *sigh* beautiful love story, loveable characters, diverse and differently abled characters and purple braids and orange lip gloss and ducks. I fucking love it

I loved this book so much. By far my favourite out of them all. There was something about their dynamics that just had me screaming like a little kid. 

What a sensational series

A bit repetitive after the first two books and slightly less likeable main characters but still a cute fun romance!

Beautiful book with diverse characters and an even more unique and perfect love story. I love how relatable this book was while also being a lovely combination of hilarious and emotional.

Just delightful. I’ve met all the Brown sisters and it’s no easy decision to choose a favourite, so I’m not going to! However, I think perhaps this book is my favourite of the three in this series. 

Loved:
• the cute B&B setting
• the 🔥 connection between Eve and Jacob
• the nuanced exploration of how hard it can be to understand, accept, and love all parts of yourself
• all of the witty quips a girl could wish for
• perfect balance of tenderness and humour

If there were 5 more Brown sisters I wouldn’t be mad about it. A favourite of the year for sure!
