Get a Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert
2.75
maybe, i just am not a romance girly :( this has been on my tbr forever and, while i liked it, i didn’t have the absolutely life-changing experience i’ve seen other people have. my two biggest complaints are how horny red and chloe are for each other when they’re supposed to hate each other (which ruined the tension a bit for me tbh) and the third act miscommunication moment (my head started to hurt because i was so annoyed).
however, this book is fun. once red and chloe started their friendship, their dynamic was so playful.
honestly, i really, really couldn’t get behind red. ESPECIALLY after that one solo red pov chapter where he fantasizes about chloe,, it’s such a turn-off. then he continues to sexualize her through the chapter, which is ick because she’s just trying to help with his website…
the writing style didn’t wow me. and i found the pov switching to be a bit annoying, especially when it would cut in the middle of dialogue. however, it was easy to read, even if it was a tad too long.
my favorite aspect of the book was chloe’s experience with fibromyalgia and how it impacted her life. also, the fear of getting close to people in fear that they’ll leave… oh my sweet chloe.
overall, fine! i probably won’t continue with the brown sisters series. chloe, live your best life.
