Talia Hibbert’s work pulls me out of my funk. This is the lighthearted and sexy read that I needed with what all that’s going on. Eve’s story of not feeling good enough and fearing failure resonated with me. Not everyone experience their coming of age once in their late teens. Some go thru it again and again, so I’m glad that Eve learned so much of herself, found a career and her person that she loves.
Btw my first Talia Hibbert book was Dani Brown, which makes this the second Brown sister book that I’ve read. Can’t wait to read Chloe Brown! And lastly, I wonder if Talia would write about Gigi and Shivani’s elderly lesbian/pansexual palace - I’d definitely love to read that!

I was 99% sure I’d love this book, and I was right. I knew I loved it as soon as I started reading. From cover to cover, it was fun, super cute, and highly amusing. Both of the previous books in the series had me laughing and swooning, and this one was no exception. I love Chloe, Dani, Eve, Red, Zaf, and Jacob with my whole heart. I love Gigi too, and honestly would love a grandma as eccentric and fun as her.
The only thing I didn’t love was how little of the other two Brown sisters and their boyfriends we got to see. I understand that this is Eve and Jacob’s book, and they spend most of it in a small town a couple of hours away from where the previous protagonists live. The one scene where they were almost all together was brief and didn’t include Jacob. Don’t get me wrong, I still absolutely loved the book. I just would’ve really liked to see the six of them hanging out and goofing around.
I can easily say that this book—honestly, this whole trilogy—is at the very top of my favorites list. In my list of top five contemporary books, three spots would be given to these books. I’ll definitely be rereading them, either because they’re great pick-me-ups or I just miss the characters. :)

The conclusion to the Brown sisters trilogy is light, lovely, and sweet, with touching hidden depths - just like Eve herself. This is a really joyous read, and the two main characters are absolutely gorgeous; their romance is really heartfelt and swoon-worthy. (Although I think Chloe and Red remain my favourite couple in the family. Just.)
I did feel that the wider context of the book, both in terms of emotion and secondary characters, was a little underdeveloped, but this leaves plenty of room for a potential spin-off series - which I would absolutely love to see!

I knew I would love this book when I read the first couple chapters at the end of Dani Brown, and it did not disappoint. This book was excellently written and wonderfully affirming. I highly recommend it.
