. I would say that this book feels a bit like a Bridget Jones movie, only less family friendly. There is a bunch of smut in this book, just be warned. But it is good written smut. This book is also very diverse, Chloe is a black woman with a chronic illness. This book focuses more on living with a chronic illness, and not so much on the potential problems a black woman would encounter.
Even though I don’t have fibromyalgia, I do have disabilities. And I felt seen in this book, and I felt represented. Even though I can’t relate to the chronic pain. And Red is a dream person. He adjusts activities so they are easier for Chloe. He thinks about her disability beforehand, and plans for a possible worse day. And he doesn’t make rude comments.
