I loved how fleshed out both the characters were, and both had backstories and valid reasons for their reactions, which made the conflict far more believable despite the fact that I don't particularly enjoy miscommunication and a third-act break up.
I thought the representation was great and really added depth to the story, though I haven't experienced the things represented in this book so take my review of this with a grain of salt - those who are being represented may have a more valid take on how good the representation actually is.
Talia Hibbert's writing style was fun and quirky and the banter was amazing. I really enjoyed her writing style, but I can see that it may not be for everyone.
The only very slight negative I had was that the MMC gave me a little bit of the ick at the start when he was (in my opinion) oversexualising the FMC when he barely knew her, but I think that's more of a me/personal preference thing.
I am definitely reading the rest of this series!

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!
