Reviews with content warning for Car accident - Act Your Age, Eve Brown

I adored the depiction of Jacob and Eve as neurodiverse adults, their romance was adorable, all of the characters were so heartfelt. The only reason this isn't 5 stars was because of the unnecessary and frustrating breakup in the final act, obviously it doesn't stick, but it still irritated me and made this otherwise amazing book less enjoyable.

10/10. This is the autistic love story of my dreams. I can't tell who I relate to more. Between Jacob's abandonment issues and Eve's fear of being a disappointment/failure and their combined autism, this book is perfect for me. I love that they were both scared to be in a real relationship because of their fears but still persevered and were able to be happy. This book made me laugh, cry, and be horny. I can't figure out if I like this book more or Chloe's book so I'll have to read them both again to figure it out. This is now one of my favorite romances of all time.

I wanted to read this series as my goal last year was to discover new authors and this series have been all over the community. I loved the first book, Dani and Zaf own my heart so I was so excited and sad to read Eve’s story and say goodbye to the Brown Sisters.

This book has two points of view. The first is Eve Brown. She is the youngest of the Brown Sisters and she is a certified hot mess. No matter how hard she strives to do right, her life always goes horribly wrong – so she gave up trying. But when her personal brand of chaos ruins an expensive wedding, her parents draw the line. It's time for Eve to grow up and prove herself – even though she’s not entirely sure how. The second point of view is Jacob Wayne. He is in control. Always. The bed and breakfast owner’s on a mission to dominate the hospitality industry and he expects nothing less than perfection. So when a purple-haired tornado of a woman turns up out of the blue to interview for his open chef position, he tells her the brutal truth: not a chance in hell. Then she hits him with her – supposedly by accident. Now Jacob’s arm is broken, his B&B is understaffed, and the dangerously unpredictable Eve is fluttering around trying to help. Before long, she’s infiltrated his work, his kitchen – and his spare bedroom. Jacob hates everything about it. Or rather, he should. Sunny, chaotic Eve is his natural-born nemesis, but the longer these two enemies spend in close quarters, the more their animosity turns into something else. Like Eve, the heat between them is impossible to ignore – and it’s melting Jacob’s frosty exterior.

I really enjoyed this book, I thought it was fun, inclusive, flirty and a really strong storyline. I love the humour that Eve has and that she loves to make people laugh. Eve is such a strong woman who I want to be friends with. I want to be friends with all the sisters please. I love all the storylines in this series and I love how Talia Hibbert managed to write mental health so damn well. You can really see from the characters perspective that mental illness is much more than people think. I love how the sisters interact together and how Chloe and Dani were so worried about Eve and if she joined a sex cult. This book was fast-paced but didn’t feel rushed. The whole way through this book I was rooting for Eve and Jacob. I loved the fact that Eve wasn’t scared about how Jacob came off cold and exterior and just felt guilty for hitting him with the car. Jacob was so sweet and that man knows how to use his words. I just love that Eve joked about him being a robot but then he literally sees her for the first time and malfunctions.

I don’t think there are any weaknesses to this book, it just wasn’t my favourite of series (DANI AND ZAF OWNED MY HEART AND SOUL). I cannot wait to read more of Talia’s work and making me fall in love with more of the fictional men that she has created.
