 I wanted to read this book as I wanted to discover new authors this year. I’ve seen The Brown Sisters series all over Booktok and Bookstagram so I added the first book to my wishlist and my wonderful friends got me this for my birthday.  

This book has two points of views. The first point of view is from Chloe Brown, she is a chronically ill computer geek with a goal, a plan and a list. After almost dying, she has come with up with seven things to help her “get a life” and she’s already completed the first one which was to move out of her family’s mansion. So what else is on her list: enjoy a drunken night out, ride a motorbike, go camping, having meaningless but enjoyable sex, travel the world with nothing but hand luggage and do something bad. But Chloe is finding it difficult to complete this list even though she has written out step-by-step guidelines. What Chloe needs is a teacher and she knows just the man: Redford Morgan. The second point of view is from Red Morgan and he has tattoos and a motorbike, Red should be the perfect helper in her mission to rebel. But Red is also fighting and recovering from his past – he is an upcoming artist who lost his passion due to what happened in London. Chloe releases there’s much more to him that his tough exterior and soon she is wanting more. Can they both help each other out? Will Chloe be able to complete her list? Will Red find his passion? 
 
I really enjoyed this book, I thought it was fun, inclusive, flirty and a really strong storyline. I love the British humour as well that admittingly took me a while to realise. Chloe is a bad-ass woman who I want to be friends with. I loved her whole storyline and how Talia Hibbert managed to write chronically illness SO DAMN WELL. You can really see from her perspective that chronically illness is much more than anyone could think about it. I love the bond she has with her sisters and I would love to get to know them more. Now . . . REDFORD MORGAN – That man is a god and he instantly got added to the book boyfriends I would marry – he was so charming, heart of gold and you are instantly rooting for him, no matter what. When I read Talia’s content warning at the beginning, I didn’t know what to expect but I love the fact that she brought to light about domestic abuse and that men can be victims as well. 

I don’t think there are any weaknesses to this book, it just wasn’t a favourite of mine - I cannot wait to read the next book in the series and to go back to the Brown sisters. I would recommend this book, if you enjoy romance contemporary books and are wanting something new read.
