never did i think i would rate a book with so many pop culture references a 5 but oh my god this book ???? the way talia hibbert created these characters i refuse to believe they are fictional, i love them i WILL protect them, i think it’s incredible how she managed to construct them in such a way that you fall in love with them as you get to know them just LIKE THE STORY bye i have had enough this was too much

God, I love the Brown Sisters. I thought I might actually know which one is my favourite, but I really can't tell. So freaking good.

This was definitely my favorite from the Brown sisters series! Both Eve and Jacob were fully developed and incredibly lovable. Talia Hibbert never fails to have amazing representation in her books and this one truly wowed me. It was so sweet and comforting. I never wanted this series to end!

3.0

This is a British romantic comedy and the humor is witty, sarcastic, and a bit dark at times.

The characters are flawed but the main couple do have chemistry.

The story might be a bit simple but it has a good message and ending.

It was so lovely to read how they clicked and fell in love! It was a lot of fun, and had some of the hottest sex scenes in the series.

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. :)
