 This was a lovely feel-good rom com. I had a great time. I haven't read too many steamy novels but this was decent. The step scene...10 out 10 for smut. I loved both Chloe and Red. Chloe's character really grew on me. The start was very dramatic BUT I think it may have been good writing in that what Chloe felt is what someone would feel after a near-death experience but I can't lie it took a little bit for me to really get into the story. Red on the otherhand is the sweetest. I loved his character and I love how well they fit together. All in all good read and excited to follow the other sisters.

Content warning for characters experiencing past racism and classism, and the love interest Red Morgan experiencing a toxic relationship with his ex girlfriend, who is classist.

My gosh this story is incredibly adorable. I love it. 

Things I love:

- The protagonist Chloe and her love interest Red are so sweet together. They have the best sense of humour!! I laughed out loud several times while reading this book. They call each other out on bad behaviour and work hard at becoming better people. 

- Their chemistry is so great!

- The side characters are just so sweet! And lovely. 

- great disability representation. Chloe is chronically ill, and this is treated with sensitivity and respect. 

- Watching Chloe and Red change from disliking each other to loving each other is believable and heartwarming. 

- Chloe's sisters are hilarious and adorable, and great emotional support. 

- Red's mum is adorable. 

Cons: No cons that I can think of. The misunderstanding near the end is so sad (!!!) but it works out and Chloe and Red get their happy ending through communicating maturely, so I'm satisfied.
