It's just what I needed to read when I needed to read it. It feels sad that I have to say suspend your disbelief as the MC's love interest feels so clearly written by a woman for those who, traditionally, have been brought up to be women. But it scratched an itch I didn't know was there and hey, you can enjoy the ride nonetheless and maybe hope that you'll find at least a fraction of this in someone. Isn't that what romance books are in the end? Just romantic love stories blown up out of (epically) proportion...?

“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.

Not a full 5 stars, because there was a tad bit too much focus on lust for my taste, but otherwise a very nice book. I read this book in small doses to enjoy it to its fullest.
