This was a fun and sweet romance.
Talia Hibbert’s characters all jump off the page. They’re just so fun, humorous, and lively. I love their different dynamics with each other.
What to expect from the Brown sisters trilogy:
1. So! much! horniness!!
2. Plus size, Black, Muslim, Queer, Neurodivergent and disability representation
3. Loveable and slightly ridiculous and dramatic (said with affection) characters/situations
4. Beautiful family bonds
5. Humor!
6. Minor/Brief Harry Potter references

"Look," he said the word a rasp, "There are many ways to fail."
"Trust me, I'm aware."
"And very few of them are actually controllable. Life has too many moving parts." He managed to sound resentful at the very nature of human existence, which Eve found impressive despite herself.
Besides the swoonworthy romance and delightfully strong nature of the main characters (they are willing to put a lot of effort into becoming better versions of themselves but also take care of themselves and each other), Hibbert writes representation admirably well into her book. Like in the previous books about the Brown sisters, Eve's book also addressess disabilities and different minority identities with respect. Hibbert is a master writer of representation that lives and breathes both respect and normalization of the different needs of people. Her writing feels like a warm hug in a world that too often offers only a cold shoulder to anyone who struggles to fit themselves into the molds offered to us.

wilybooklover's review
4.5
I loved how Eve's chaotic brand of charm balanced out Jacob's calm and orderly ways. Yet deep down, they had a lot in common and forge a deep connection. Their banter was top notch, especially in the first half. They don't like each other but they never go too far in saying something truly hurtful. It was wonderful seeing Eve understand why she might be different (undiagnosed autism) and connecting with Jacob, who has diagnosed autism, on that level too. It was just utterly delightful and I smiled the whole way through. The only thing I didn't like was that I could see the third-act breakup coming from a mile away and it filled me with dread, though I appreciate that it wasn't dragged out for ages. The way it unfolded felt a bit unnatural though, from the way Eve's family acted to the miscommunication.
