Ever After Always by Chloe Liese
5.0

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Oh my god. This book.
Ever After Always is hands down one of my favorite books in the Bergman Brothers series. Chloe Liese has this rare, beautiful way of writing about things we don’t talk about enough—mental illness, grief, the quiet weight of anxiety—and she does it with so much care, honesty, and depth.

As someone who lives with anxiety, this book found me at exactly the right time. It felt like a warm hug on the day I scheduled an appointment with my therapist. I cried—hard—because Chloe didn’t just write about anxiety; she understood it. Not the exaggerated, dramatic version we often see, but the real one. The kind that’s quiet and invisible. The kind you learn to carry while pretending everything's fine. The kind that sneaks up on you and steals your breath while the world keeps turning.

I’ve read a lot of books that try to represent anxiety, but none have come close to the truth the way this one does. Chloe captured it perfectly, and that authenticity hit me deeply. It made me feel seen.

Because of this book—and the way it made me feel—Chloe Liese is now an auto-buy author for me.
Thank you, Chloe, truly, for this story.
