I could not even BEGIN to express how much I love this book. Chloe is such a sweet, cute character, and oh my GOD Redford Morgan may be the sexiest romcom love interest I have EVER read. I’m always wary of interracial romances involving white people but Red somehow managed to be the One True Cishet Sble-Bodied White Man and I loved him endlessly. He’s sweet and wonderful but also just dangerous and edgy enough to be really REALLY sexy. I found Chloe so relatable and I loved the descriptions of her as a grump so fucking funny. As a disabled person myself, her independent streak really resonated with me. The way she makes deals to make sure she’s not dependent on anyone outside her immediate family, and her growth toward letting friends in (and boyfriends). Also her sense of style is adorable. Much as I love Red I do picture the two of them as that Barbie/Lego man meme. It’s what’s on the inside that counts I suppose. I’m really just rambling at this point but please know I am rereading my favorite parts and I have no complaints about this book whatsoever. What an absolutely perfect book. 

I would be remiss not to mention that I read this as an audiobook and the audio performer fucking BODIED this book. They changed readers for the next two books and I am delaying starting the next one for precisely that reason. The way she managed to make Red and Chloe sound so different that I was completely immersed immediately. Also her voice for Red? Fucking SEXYYYYY. 10/10.
