Content warning for characters experiencing past racism and classism, and the love interest Red Morgan experiencing a toxic relationship with his ex girlfriend, who is classist.

My gosh this story is incredibly adorable. I love it. 

Things I love:

- The protagonist Chloe and her love interest Red are so sweet together. They have the best sense of humour!! I laughed out loud several times while reading this book. They call each other out on bad behaviour and work hard at becoming better people. 

- Their chemistry is so great!

- The side characters are just so sweet! And lovely. 

- great disability representation. Chloe is chronically ill, and this is treated with sensitivity and respect. 

- Watching Chloe and Red change from disliking each other to loving each other is believable and heartwarming. 

- Chloe's sisters are hilarious and adorable, and great emotional support. 

- Red's mum is adorable. 

Cons: No cons that I can think of. The misunderstanding near the end is so sad (!!!) but it works out and Chloe and Red get their happy ending through communicating maturely, so I'm satisfied.
