Talia has become an auto-buy author for me.

“Get a Life, Chloe Brown” gave me everything I love in a romcom and more. I got fun banter, I got diverse characters and I got important, sensitive topics being discussed with such care and realness. Crohn’s and Fibromyalgia are different but I related a lot to some of the symptoms that Chloe experienced. I fell for all the characters’ personalities and the pacing of the story felt so natural and real. I think this is the first time I didn’t even mind a third-act breakup because of how well it was written and how reasonable it felt to the storyline.

I’m so grateful for stories like these with disability representation that show that people who are disabled deserve to and can be loved like everyone else. It’s something I needed especially right now as I experience difficult days in the hospital because of my own disability. Even though I may feel like it sometimes, I’m not a burden, I’m not a setback and yes my chronic illness may cause challenges but I deserve a fun, fulfilling life.

I liked that even though Chloe was a trust fund kid with a chronic illness, she still wanted to work and contribute to society.  She's a strong woman and I enjoyed this book.

Very cute, unbelievably cute. I adored these characters. Shout out to a reverse grumpy/sunshine. I loved all the representation and character growth. Am I disappointed in that 3rd act, slightly but less than normal. 

Romance, Reverse Grumpy/Sunshine, Hate to Love, 3 🔥

One thing about me I am gonna fuck up a grumpy/sunshine pairing, ESPECIALLY if one of the characters is disabled and it's normalized/accommodated. EAT YOUR HEART OUT TALIA HIBBERT!!!!!

I love the book tons, the narration is just not for me (there's absolutely nothing wrong with it, though).
