 I didn’t mean to read two books in a row about women who create lists to try and experience the life they think they never have but here we are. A few days ago I reviewed Nine Rules to Break When Romancing A Rake by Sarah MacLean. You can find the review here. But even reading the blurbs, it wasn’t until I was halfway through both that I realized the similarities. For me, Get a Life, Chloe Brown was far superior. 


I could gush about this book for hours if I’m honest so I’ll try to be concise. What I loved most was definitely the characters. Chloe and Red are so adorably awkward and yet so spicy together. I liked watching them grow as people together and learn where they have to be forgiving and graceful with the other. 
Oh my goodness, the humor! I won’t share the lines I sent my friends because they’re somewhat explicit but let me tell you there were several times where I had to pause, reread, and then giggle for a minute before I could continue reading. Hibbert paints such a colorful and fun picture and humor drives her writing. I love it. 

The actual execution of the plot, following the list Chloe made to “get a life”, was fun and I liked the growth Chloe experienced because of the list and not just because of Red. It was nice showing a character could grow on their own AND from their relationship. 

I was going to try and talk about my gripes here but honestly they’re minuscule. I think there were a few moments where the story went too fast so it was hard to keep track of things. I think a few scenes could have been fleshed out more. But these are just small things that kept it from being a full 5 star. It was pretty darn close though. 

Overall, this book was excellent. I can see why it took the romance book world by storm! Reading this just raises the urge to drop all books I’m reading and plan to read so I can marathon Talia Hibbert books instead.
