• Illnesses aren't my type of topic, I always cry. Fibromyalgia was a safer bet and I was curious to know how they would describe chronic pain. To me, it seemed realistic, from the care needed to the different degrees of pain and symptoms.
• The way Chloe faced the list she made throughout the book had good development. Made me think.
• Red seeming like a bad boy but actually being such a sweet man was a nice surprise. His character had nice and interesting aspects to it like his attitude facing his art after doubting himself and also how he felt after a very toxic past relationship.
• I really liked the sisters (I'm going to read their books) and the grandma (I want to adopt the progressive lady as my own grandmother)
• The banter between Chloe and Red was so nice, with sarcasm and flirting, love it 😍. The romance was so thoughtful and sexy, one of those you think "too good to be true". We read to dream, right? The 🌶️ is great, I got 🥵 and they weren't even kissing.
• The only things I had to point out were: it would be more interesting if Red's life and his problems weren't solved so quickly, his mother and therapy; and the book should have two more chapters to solve their traumas suitably. Chap. 21 was so well written but solved quickly.
• The book is perfect for those who want to start diversifying the authors they read and include more protagonists of colour. A very good rom-com with 🌶️ that I recommend.

guys i didn’t like this book as much as everyone else liked it. did i love chole? yes 100% but did this book miss for me just a little? yes 100%
now i could just be in a slump from summer reading but this book was just okay for me. i loved the representation chronic illness i think they author did so well with writing chole. oh i also loved how the author covered red’s character.
idk i just couldn’t love this. i ended up speed reading the end bc i was over it. maybe i’ll try the other books in the series. also guys some seller or non seller points: they’re british, the book is in third person, and red’s pov not pov but if yk yk addressed the vagina as a cunt. is that british terminology??
