A sweet & sexy romance that I really enjoyed, the only book left in this series that I haven't read is Take a Hint Dani Brown 😍
I will say that while I enjoy Talia Hibbert's romances, I find her style of writing at times way too cheesy - she has LOTS of passages that are like "she thought she might like him. But ONLY as a friend. Nothing more. Yes, that was certain. She was not attracted to him or anything like that. That would be crazy" - and I gotta say these are really annoying to read for me, plus her third-act conflicts are very predictable and again, kind of cheesy and annoying. Aside from that though, a solid romance, definitely pick it up if you're in the mood for a lighthearted read.
P.S. I will say that I really appreciated the autistic rep as well as how two people who have often found themselves to be on the outskirts of friend groups find each other and make each other believe that they are lovable & worthy just as they are.

This book is absolutely lovely. Splendid. Breathtaking. I love this book so much… I thought I loved Dani’s book (which is still great) but THIS book?? This book is my favorite of the Brown sisters trilogy. Which once again: Talia Hibbert can write a fucking book oh my gosh. Jacob is hilarious, like I don’t think I’ve ever laughed out loud so much. He’s so funny I love him. And so so sweet like wow. Also like enemies to lovers … it’s just gonna hit every time. Like the hatred/I’m secretly falling for you banter it’s just *chefs kiss*
Anyways, absolutely 10/10 will read again

Eve is the best Brown sister, but
Zafir is the best love interest, but
Get a Life, Chloe Brown is the best book in the trilogy.
I won't accept any discourse on the matter. 🤷♀️

This book got me out of a book slump. It was so fun and utterly consumable and for some reason made me feel motivated to clean my house, hahaha. I identify with Eve Brown and specifically bought this one of the three books in this series because I felt the most drawn to her as a character. I wasn't disappointed. Eve is whimsical and dances to the beat of her own drum. She hates failure and the thought of disappointing the people she cares about. She was identifiable and sympathetic to me. I really loved how kind and forthright she is. She's a heart-on-her-sleeve kind of character. It was refreshing.
There are only a couple smut scenes, but damn. I've hardly read romance, but there is no shying away from multiple words for genitalia. I mean...duh. XDDDD
One thing that bothered me a bit is the repetition of certain words, those being the word fizzed/fizzing and wolf/wolfish. I'm just the kind of person who picks up on that and it's distracting and a little annoying. Other words could have been used to make it not so repetitive.
I will say the end conflict that lasts a couple chapters felt a tad forced, but it's over with quickly. I did get annoyed when ***SPOILER* her whole family shows up at her place of work and collectively show their asses and temporarily fuck everything up for her because they don't trust her to be a functioning adult, just because she's not comparative to her two more "responsible" (read social expectations of normative behavior and constructs) sisters. She does end up telling them off, but I felt she should've been even harsher...>__> *END SPOILER***
TLDR: This was fun. If you want some wholesome, funny, moderately smutty love in your life, you should read it with a bowl of your favorite snack and mainline that dopamine.
