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

What a delightful read! I really enjoyed this book. The characters were amazing and felt like real people. The banter was great, the premise was great, and the enemy to lovers felt natural and not forced. It also had me laughing out loud as several different points.

With the disability/queer/BIPOC rep you won’t want to miss this one!

Tropes: enemies to lovers, grumpy sunshine, forced proximity

Does contain a third act break up but it’s quickly resolved and gives a very cute HEA.

This was a good insight into Eve's character. Talia Hibbert does a good job in making things heartwarming, slightly ridiculous, and a bit cheesy without it being cringey (much like Eve herself). I liked how the relationship between Jacob and Eve progressed; it felt very natural (even though it went from hatred to love in 2 weeks, but the progression and getting to know each other period was done well, and both characters are quite intense with their emotions, so for them it makes sense). For side characters, as usual Gigi is iconic, and if there aren't books dedicated to Alex and Tessa, then there should be! I still think that the second book did the best with the third act break-up, but this book also did it pretty well. It was so sweet to see their conflict resolved with an honest conversation (as it should be; it could have been resolved right away with such, but I get Jacob's issues and insecurities as well as the need to build tension for a more cathartic payoff) as well as a grand romantic gesture that perfectly suits the couple (dramatic as they BOTH are). This was sweet and lovely. This family is so chaotic and iconic, and I love them (the fact that Gigi and Shivani are the voices of reason of the family is absolutely hilarious since Gigi is so dramatic all on her own, but her down-to-earth advice always hits).
