Omg I loved this so much - I had veen procrastinating starting Technically Yours, so I switched and just decided to go the route of another popular Contemporary Romance and man I'm so glad I just went into this with no expectations.
Cue the Rocky Balboa music🎶because cheers! I can't believe it but this is my first 5⭐ read of 2024 and it's a Romance go figure and in the subgenre I no longer hate or deign to read once in a while..I wondered when I'd find my 5 star read.
Now *shoves this book between all the romantasies in my bookcase* pardon me while I gush and rave like a teen for a minute okay? Thank you so much.
Plot/Storyline/Themes:
I laughed, I cried, I smiled dumbly into the distance inbetween sips of wine, shook my head, sighed like I'm in love (which for the duration of this book, I was) and then I sniffled and wanted to just scoop Chloe and Redford up into a massive hug.
Two Sentences, A Scene or less - Characters:
Chloe:I loved her from the moment she said "I think I'm in shock - could I have some chocolate" because yes Chloe you can have all the chocolate your heart desires.
Redford: tattooed to within an inch of his life, long hair, motorcycle, leather jacket and the biggest most golden heart ever. And he's a ginger ninja so there's that. And an artist. And did I mention hot? I feel like I didn't mention that. Well he's a hot sweetypie.
Favorite/Curious/Ludicrous/Unique Scene: :
How can I choose? There are too many cozy, fuzzy and laugh out loud moments and please pass me a quart of ice cream while I reread this damn chapter right now. I am beaming with joy and it's ridiculous.
■Chloe and the cat in the tree - that inner monolgue alone was worth a re-read.
"She would dominate this tree"- we know how that went🤣
Or
"Let me just secure the cat" she mumbled
"Fuck the cat. It's playing you like a violin"
Her gasp tasted of ice and pollution.
"How dare you! This cat is an angel. Look at it. Look!"
Favorite/Curious/Ludicrous/Unique Quotes:
🖤 “Cute as a button, neat as a button, always dressed in buttons” (I can't with how much Redford likes his Chloe-button)
🖤 “Goodness gracious, he'd better stop doing that. Looking at him was distracting enough; if he started to emote her brain might short circuit” (One of my favorite scenes)
🖤 “She hadn't always been like this, a tongue with the tip bitten off, her feelings squashed into a box.” (Oh Chlo! You are beyond relatable)
Favorite/Curious/Ludicrous/Unique Concepts :
■ Disability representation done so well
■ Get A Life List
■ Chloe's Self Eulogies
