I loved this book! Both main characters were wonderful, their banter was top-notch, and there were multiple moments that made me laugh. I liked how much joy they took in making each other smile and laugh. It wasn't all fluff though. There was some real heart here and some heavier topics addressed. I really loved Red and how thoughtful and caring he was. He's definitely joining my list of favorite romance guys. He and Chloe both had their own issues to work through, and they felt like very realistic problems that impacted them in understandable ways. I don't usually like when there is a

third-act breakup

, but here it made sense why the characters reacted the way they did and how they found their way through it. I appreciated that they both apologized to each other as too often romance novels have only one person apologizing after an argument where both characters said or did hurtful things. I look forward to reading the other books in this series!

4.0

This book was both pink clouds and pure sweetness as well as very serious around mental health and I really appreciated it. I am mainly an anything but romance reader now starting to read romance. 

The mental health and chronic pain rep in this book was amazing. The feeling of being a burden to others while also learning to accept help when needed was beautiful. 

The rediscovering yourself after previous relationships was handled okay. I think it handled it better than most books but still felt like they relied on each other as the reason why to change and grow rather than for themselves.

I loved this book. Chloe and Red are so funny and cute and adorable. Their relationship is so beautiful. The way Red cares for her and the way Chloe puts herself out there! The sex scenes are nice and spicy. The representation is so well done. Chloe’s disability is a part of her but doesn’t define her. I was giggling and laughing and smiling I loved it.

I'm finding this book hard to rate because I read it in 4 days and had a lot of fun, but it's not quite my type of romance. Loved the representation and how funny the dialogue is. However, the relationship felt a bit rushed and the third act breakup annoyed me.
