I liked this a little bit better than the second book in a general sense, but I thought that the third act break-up was better executed in Dani.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this book. I had heard good things, but I’m only just now getting into the romance genre so I wasn’t sure what to expect. 

I was absolutely blown away. While I wish the romance had more build up or implied time knowing each other, it didn’t take me out of the story overall. I found the narration hilarious and the narrator really brought it home.

While the 3rd act conflict wasn’t the best I’ve ever read and was a bit abrupt, it mostly made sense for the characters. Overall it didn’t take too much from my enjoyment of the book.

Also the spice was great, best I’ve read in ages.

Funny, sweet, sexy, heartwarming - this book was a delight. I went into it knowing it had been very popular in the contemporary romance genre and not much else, and was pleasantly surprised to find one of my favorite reads of the year.

It really took off for me about 30% in (that's been a theme this year - taking about a month to read the first 30-40% of a book until it grabs me, and then devouring the rest in a few days.) The banter gets SO good and the chemistry crackles. Love the represention here with the disabled/chronically ill POC main character, the interracial/class differences in the romantic relationship, fat-positivity and more. There is discussion of chronic illness, abusive/manipulative past relationships, abandonment, burn out, mental health/therapy... this book has a lot of depth! 

It's also just a really beautiful love story, demonstrating how paying attention and sharing the load can make such a difference. Red is one of the sweetest and kindest men I've encountered in fiction in a long time, truly a pleasure to read. And Chloe is so incredibly sympathetic, clever and lovely as well. Looking forward to reading the other books in the series featuring her sisters!
