My allosexual friends struggle to describe what sexual attraction is… I think I understand after reading this book 😂

Something about Get A Life, Chloe Brown was addicting. I enjoyed the characters, the romance, and the writing style. 

There was brief references to Harry Potter characters

Would have been 4 stars but I never quite recovered from the 3rd act breakup.
I’m not convinced she really should have forgiven him; he said some really hurtful things & the gifts felt like lovebombing.

“You are a woman who, in a life filled with pain, came here to ask about love.”

The speed in which I read this book once I finally sat down and just did nothing for hours but just enjoy the story of Chloe and Red. I don’t know why it took me so long to read this book but am so glad that I finally did pick it up finally. I can say right now that I really enjoy Talia Hibbert’s writing and can’t wait to read about the other two Brown sisters soon.

One of the main reasons I picked this book up was that Chloe was a bigger girl and she found love in the book - and I love seeing plus size girls and women falling in love and being happy forever. The other reason I wanted to read this was how much people loved it online and I wanted to see some of the rep in the book.

While reading I found myself giggling, kicking my feet in the air, and having such a fun time with the characters here. I found myself relating a bit to Chloe in different aspects of her life and feeling happy to know that she was in her early 30s finding this love, so me in my late 20s still has time to find it myself with my own Redford.

I am giving this book four stars because I really enjoyed the book. The only thing I didn’t like was how often there was miscommunication between the characters (JUST TALK! USE YOUR WORDS!) even though it made sense with who they were
and maybe if they had had some sort of revenge against Pippa & Henry - like just revenge by showing how much happier Chloe & Red were together and without the others!
. However other than that - a great book and I highly suggest it!

“Bliss should be held on to with both hands.”

I took a whole star off for all the mentions of HP because no thanks.
The third act breakup I saw coming from a mile away because of how much mis-communication there was and the fact Chloe didn’t let him see the full list at first but I still hated that it happened.
SMUDGE FOREVER BELONGS TO CHLOE AND I’M SO GLAD THE LITTLE FLUFF WAS RETURNED!
The scene where Red was wondering if blue balls made him dumb because he let Chloe in his apartment after giving himself a hand made me laugh so hard because no Red - you’re just in love already.

I liked the chronic pain rep and the male being abused in relationship rep. I think this book had a lot of good commentary and representation in general for “just being a romance book”.

I really liked how Red and Chloe played off each other — from cute nicknames like Button, to their abilities to mess with one another, to the perfect amount of spice.

It didn’t get 5 stars bc I am now an annoyingly picky romance reader. I think there could’ve been more side character interaction than there was instead of just Red and Chloe all the time. I get why (because they both were hiding), but still. There was still the breakup moment which is getting old in romances but I did like how Talia Hibbert used this moment to have the characters do some internal retrospective work regarding their traumas —that was actually refreshing. Lastly, sometimes the romance seemed a LITTLE too fast for my taste but still it was enemies to lovers so I’m here for that. 

Overall a really cute romance that I found myself smiling and laughing at often. And definitely happy with the amount of spice wow. Definitely going to read about the other Brown sisters
