Having read the other two books in the Brown Sisters series the bar was set pretty high for Act Your Age Eve Brown. Talia Hibbert didn't let me down. I loved this book so much. Act Your Age Eve Brown, focuses on the youngest sister Eve, a young lady desperate to step into "adulthood" but experiencing difficulty in the process. When her parents' decide to cut her off, she literally runs into her dream job, and Jacob, a young man with Autism that turns her world on its head.
I loved this book. It was absolutely precious in terms of the romance aspect. I loved again that Talia made disability a part of the narrative without it being the entire narrative. I loved how Eve absolutely outlines the confusion so many young people feel when they experience failure and then don't know what to do from there. I also loved that it was in the UK, in the 2020s and ignored covid-19 (this was in content warning/info) in the beginning of the book. I was the perfect escape that I didn't know I needed.
