Another great book by Talia Hibbert. I’ve enjoyed this entire series and loved how Eve and Jacob’s story evolved. Eve has hands down been my favourite sunshine character in a very long time. And her brightness was perfectly offset by Jacob’s grumpy demeanour.

Adorable, bright and cozy! Mostly sweet, with a good dash of spicy! Enjoyable banter, delightful fully-former characters, and a really lovely example of deep dislike/irritation to lovers. I really enjoyed the thoughtful depiction of neurodivergent characters. As an ADHD girlie, Eve’s strengths and struggles really rang true, even if her journey is a little different. I love a book that follows an MC who falls in love with so much more than a man. (Even if that man is truly wonderful.)

I adored this book! Eve was honestly kind of insufferably entitled at the start (which I know is the point) and I almost DNFd at one point, but I pushed through because so many people say this is their favourite of the series and I’m so glad I did! I I loved Eve’s growth throughout the series, which included her growing confidence in herself and her abilities. Without giving anything away this was hands down one of my FAVOURITE endings of a romance book ever. It wasn’t cliched, it wasn’t unrealistic, it was just SO PERFECTLY Eve and Jacob 🥹 it’s the reason this book just pips Dani’s at the post for being my fave of the series!

With this series Talia Hibbert has cemented herself as being one of my favourite romance authors. The tenderness that she manages to inject in her stories without making them saccharine or try-hard is second to none!

This one didn’t grab my attention as quickly as the previous two books in the beginning but I really enjoyed this one too! Eve’s growth is so good and her and Jacob are so witty. The spice was hot af! Third act breakup is quickly and believably resolved. More of a fight than a breakup tbh. Overall, very enjoyable.

Act Your Age, Eve Brown is proof that neurodivergent people thrive in environments without ableist expectations being placed on them. They thrive when their needs are met. 

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
