I liked the characters and the setting but I was confused by all of the americanisms (why does a British block of flats have a 'superintendent' rather than a caretaker), I found it hard to buy a ginger man as a romantic lead (personal preference) and Chloe was always referring to her nipples (off-putting).

*Violent gurgling sounds*
This was so cute and sweet I think I rotted out all of my teeth. But also I cried a little.
I love the men in Talia Hibbert’s books. They are all 10/10 healthy love interest (or trying) and do a wonderful job at showing how much they love the female love interests.
Now, Chloe. The star of the show. She’s so delectably wonderful. She is snarky, and a grump, and a mild priss yet she is so fun and wild and has the most wonderfully dry sense of humor ( or perhaps Talia Hibbert has a dry sense of humor).
Redford is jebsbdkek. Wonderful man. Beautiful gentleman. A little flawed but that makes him better in some ways.
The book was wonderfully funny and sexy and perfect. Once again a Brown Sister book has blown me away.
3/3 In the brown sister trilogy. Finally complete. (I read it backwards)

I really went into this book expecting it to be a cute rom-com, but I was surprised by the depth of Chloe and Red. Two struggling souls looking to find their place in the world after life has let them down over, and over again. I loved seeing their confidence in themselves, and each other grow.
The chemistry between Red and Chloe was off the charts. I could not stop smiling at their witty banter, and love how mindful Red was about Chloe's fibromyalgia.
The only thing I have against this book is that the main conflict seemed a bit rushed. Without revealing too much, it stemmed from insecurity, and I do appreciate that Chloe and Red owned up to that fact.
I am looking forward to experiencing the other two sisters' stories the next time I'm in a mood for romance books!

Trigger warnings: abusive relationship
February 2023: Toward the end of January, I felt myself falling into a reading slump which to me isn't not reading, it's less of a desire to read or not really feeling like picking up anything to read. To try to mitigate that, I decided to try to re-read one of my favorite books! I read this series back in 2019 for the first time and absolutely loved it. Hibbert is a phenomenal author in my opinion; her mix of humor, heart and connection between characters in unmatched. I had the best time re-reading this book. I always end up laughing out loud the entire time; the banter and sarcasm throughout is always just on point. I love the ways in which Chloe and Red take care of each other, even before they decided to give their relationship a try. Their openness and honesty is great and hits my heart every time. I just don't have a complaint about this book at all. If you haven't read it yet, do yourself the favor!
