Act Your Age, Eve Brown by Talia Hibbert

4.0

Perhaps she was starting to understand that most of the time, his sharpness had more to do with himself than anyone else.

Characters:
Eve Brown is very relatable to me. Her struggles match mine as someone with anxiety and autism. I loved her personality. She reminded me a lot of myself. Jacob Wayne is real asshole with a secret soft side hidden deep beneath the surface. It took me a long while to like him because he was written very mean at the beginning and I didn't find it appealing at all. But once he started to be nice I warmed up to him a lot.

Plot:
After Eve's parents cut her off, Eve finds refuge at a bed and breakfast run by a grumpy man named Jacob. I didn't like that it felt insta-lusty. I didn't find Eve and Jacob's banter to be fun as I found Jacob to be quite mean. (“Is this negging? Are you negging me right now? was the funniest line of the book because it literally was what I was thinking.) However, once they began to get to know each other and connect (and he stopped being a dickhead) I began to like the story a lot more. Eve's journey was much different than her sisters and I related to her a lot. I found their relationship really sweet and their ability to understand each other was great.

Rating: I give this book a 4/5
