I also liked Red quite a bit, which is surprising because I'm usually not a big fan of men in romance novels. But he reminded me of my partner, with his compassion and always paying close attention to Chloe and anticipating her needs. I saw some reviews complaining that he was a mind reader, but I disagree. He simply paid attention to her physical signs of pain and exhaustion and acted accordingly. Literally the least we can expect from a devoted partner, in my opinion.
The smut wasn't for me, but that's not unusual. It also was unnecessarily dramatic at times, but I feel like that's easily forgiven with books like this.
Overall, I found it to be a very relaxing and fun read with much appreciated diversity and accurate disability representation.

I received this from a friend a few years back for my birthday and finally got around to it. This was such a sweet romance full of understanding and mutual adoration.
Chloe deals with chronic pain that can be so debilitating she spends days in bed. Due to this, Chloe has had friends abandon her. While I don’t currently have chronic pain, I was in chronic pain for most of high school. I related so much to Chloe and had people tell me they didn’t believe I was in pain.
Redford “Red” was in an abusive relationship that left him feeling absolutely worthless. He is an artist and struggled after that relationship to feel as if his art mattered.
The two end up supporting each other as they heal and become friends. Red helps Chloe cross things off her “get a life list”, while Chloe helps Red with a new website for his art.
The only issue I had with this book was it was so long!
