I was so happy to see that Talia Hibbert got a publishing deal! This ended up being my second favorite novel of hers (After A Girl Like Her); she has written yet another sweet, compelling, and hilarious #ownvoices romance.

Hibbert usually excels at writing smart, sharp (perhaps even prickly) heroines, and Chloe--a Black woman with fibromyalgia--is no exception. Her chemistry with artist/superintendent Redford---who is outwardly friendly but prickly in his own way--was so fun to read, and I loved the gems of dialogue typical of Hibbert's other works (for example, "He lost track of every f*ck he'd ever had to give" and "His voice cracked as if she'd ruined his life by moisturizing after she showered").

Honestly, a flimsy, manufactured moment of conflict is the only plot point that prevented me giving this 5 stars. Otherwise, if you enjoyed Hibbert's other novels and are a contemporary romance fan, I highly recommend this one.

Get a Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert might be the most-awaited romance this year. Not only is it from one of the best romance authors of our time, but it’s also #OwnVoices. The main character, Chloe Brown, is a Black woman with fibromyalgia.

And while fibromyalgia may have stopped Chloe from living her life at one point, after seeing her life flash before her eyes in a near-miss car accident, she decides to take her life into her own hands. She starts a “Get a Life” list to start living her life the way she wants.

What’s on the list? It starts with moving out of her parent’s house and moves onto things like riding a motorcycle, having a drunken night out on the town, going camping, traveling the world with only hand luggage, and having meaningless but enjoyable sex.

The first item gets checked off pretty quickly. She finds her own place and begins to be more independent. Chloe works from home on websites for clients and is a self-proclaimed computer geek.

Everything is going great, except for her irritating handyman/super, Redman Morgan aka Red.He is stupidly attractive, an artist, has tattoos and rides a motorcycle, and seem to be nice to everyone except her (rude). To be fair, though, Chloe is not exactly the nicest person when he comes around either.

Well, that is until Chloe finds herself stuck in a tree trying to retrieve a cat. It’s not her finest moment, but it only gets worse when Red is the one to find her there and must help her get out. After he lets her keep the cat (which she names Smudge) until she can find the owner, they begin a reluctant friendship. (Smudge is also the best!)

For “saving” her from the tree, she offers to make a website for him for his art. How does she know he’s an artist? Chloe may or may not have spied on Red through his window while he was painting without a shirt on. (What? Like you wouldn’t?) So, she knows he paints, and it’s all she has to offer after he got her down from the tree.

He accepts, and through this business arrangement, where they pretend they have no romantic interest in each other, she tells Red about her list and asks him to help her tick a few items off of it. He, already quite smitten with the grumpy woman he sees he misjudged, agrees, and they immediately knock riding a motorcycle off the list.

The story continues with Chloe and Red doing more things from her list and, as a result, the two get much, much closer.

They first kiss in Red’s apartment after Chloe reveals how her last relationship ended, but Chloe quickly makes it clear she does not want to talk about it ever again. That lasts a couple days, and then they almost have sex on a flight of stairs in public after their drunken night out.

But that doesn’t mean they go right into being in a relationship. On their way home after the stairs, they run into one of Chloe’s relatives — and let’s just say Red is not happy with the way she treats him around other people.

But after this mild hiccup, they make up and start to date. And then comes the camping! This is one of the best scenes in the whole book. Whether you’re a camping person or not, you’ll find something about this scene that’s enjoyable. There’s humor, plenty of hotness, and a dangerous game of twenty questions where Red reveals why he gave up on being a full-time artist and how horrible his past relationship was (trigger warning for physical and emotional abuse).

Everything seems to be going great until Chloe’s sisters surprise them one morning by coming over. Red gets angry about something Chloe says and he storms out, only to come to his senses minutes later. But seeing how much they can hurt one another, Chloe ends things for good.

Red is not willing to give up so easily. He does everything he can to get her back, but he also works on himself during their time apart. He was deeply hurt after his last relationship and needed to work through some things.

When the story ends, Chloe and Red aren’t exactly the same people they were in the beginning. They change for themselves and for each other. It might make you a little teary eyed.

Get a Life, Chloe Brown is a delightful, hilarious, sexy AF romance. Chloe and Red’s humor and their willingness to challenge each other is perfect and so well written. They’re perfectly matched and going along on their various dates and their ups and downs was wildly fun.

Even their fights were interesting to read because they felt so real — and Talia Hibbert never let them last so long that I got frustrated. Chloe and Red are infinitely lovable because of their stubbornness and past issues, not despite them.

While Chloe’s chronic pain does come into play (how could it not?), it doesn’t stop her from doing the things she wants. She climbs a tree for goodness sake (and that’s not even on her list)! It was refreshing to see a character with pain, especially pain that didn’t get “fixed” by the end of the story. I hope more authors feel they can include pain and illness in their characters, whether it be in romance or another genre. It’s long overdue.

If you love contemporary romances or are looking for an #OwnVoices story about a heroine trying to live her life on her own terms, this is definitely the book for you. Get a Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert comes out on November 5.

“Bravery wasn’t an identity so much as a choice.”

This book. THIS BOOK. *happy sigh* This was one of my most anticipated releases of 2019, so when the lovely people at Avon Books asked if I’d like a copy for consideration, I jumped at the chance (literally jumped - it was part of my happy dance). I’ll admit I wanted to read it even before reading the synopsis. I mean, look at the cover. So many of us are used to seeing thin white women and white couples, so that adorable plus-size woman of colour caught my interest immediately. Then I read the synopsis and knew I had to have this book in my life.

And let me tell you, it did not disappoint. In fact, it exceeded my expectations. Because not only do we have a heroine who’s a curvy black woman, we have a heroine who’s dealing with chronic illness. I honestly didn’t know much about fibromyalgia or what all it encompassed, but I learned so much, and I loved the way it was incorporated into the story. Chloe was a sassy, sarcastic badass who had been dealt a crappy hand and was doing her best to keep going, despite being in constant pain and having a myriad of other symptoms. Red - sexy, sweet, thoughtful Red - was the first person to really see through her shields and not only appreciate her wit and sass, but also see who she really was underneath the walls she’d put up to protect herself.

I loved Chloe and Red separately and together. They were two flawed people who sometimes do and say the wrong thing and mess up spectacularly but who are ultimately willing to overcome the obstacles life throws at them because they work so well together. Their banter was hilarious, their chemistry was off the charts, and the sexytime scenes were scorching hot. I loved the way serious subjects were handled, from chronic illness, to therapy, to emotional abuse. I also absolutely loved the fact we had a plus-size heroine who never once mentioned dieting or losing weight or feeling less-than in any way because of her size, and a hero who loved all her luscious curves.

There’s just so much to love about this book. I was laughing from the first page and pretty much giggled and grinned my way through the book. There were serious moments too - Chloe’s illness was no joke - and there were moments, especially toward the end, that had me tearing up. I could seriously go on and on, but since I can’t, I’ll just say that if you enjoy hilarious, sexy, emotional stories with real, relatable characters, you need to read Get a Life, Chloe Brown. A massive thank-you to Talia Hibbert for writing this incredible book and to Avon for sending me a copy.

This book was an emotionally satisfying delight! It's my first by this author, and I adored it.

Chloe Brown needs to figure out her life. She's become boring, stagnant, and dull. Then, a near-death experience causes her to reexamine her life choices and come up with a new plan. But, her chronic illness tries it's best to hold her back, and her family smothers her to no end, and she can't really do anything until she moves out of the family home. So, she makes a list, and executes the first item, by leasing her own flat. She has no idea where to go from there, until she's inspired to cross off another item on the list when she accidentally, and then on purpose, spies on her sexy, but infuriating, apartment superintendent. Maybe he can help her with some other items on her list too?

Redford Morgan was an up and coming artist in London, until his toxic, abusive relationship imploded, and he took all his art out of every gallery in town, and moved home to lick his wounds. His best friend owns an apartment building, and gave him the job as the super (and the apartment that came with it), to give him a place to lie low for a while. When posh, snobby Chloe moves in the building, he can't figure out why he's attracted to her, even as she's constantly rude to him. He's afraid he's falling into old patterns, and tries to just stay away from her. Until she needs help, and he can't ignore her. Everything after that changes both of their lives forever.

Red and Chloe had a very strong connection, and it was a constant push and pull between them. For a while, they couldn't decide if they even liked each other, and I loved watching them come to terms with the ways they were changing each other's lives. They both really had to be brave, in similar (and different) ways, to decide to try to be together. And when it all fell apart, they both were to blame in their own ways too. But, I love an epic grovel, and Red delivered his in spades.

Chloe's family was hysterical, and I can't wait to learn more about her sisters in future books! Her grandmother, Gigi, was priceless as well, and I really felt like I knew them all. Red's mom was also a trip, and I loved how he took care of her. Ultimately this story was a lot about who is in your corner when you need them, and both of them had family members they could really count on, which I loved.

I found this story so touching, and I enjoyed the cadence and pace of the author's writing. I laughed a ton, but I cried too, and I always love a story that makes me feel deeply, without feeling taken advantage of emotionally. The author really took us on a journey of these two people learning to trust themselves again, by learning to trust each other. It gave me all the feels, and I highly recommend it!

This was a delightful read. My favorite rom-com this year. Chloe Brown after a near death experience takes life by the horns and with grit, sass and sheer determination sets out to 'get a life'. She decides to stretch her comfort zone, embrace new experiences, new challenges all while trying her hardest not to be distracted my her building superintendent, Red! Yet this distraction could easily and neatly be added to Chloe's 'Get a Life List'. Come on..you all know it's never that easy.

I loved the diversity, the charm and the natural banter of this book. The fact that many stereotypes and expectations are shattered was not lost on me in this New Adult genre. Chloe and her family refreshingly fill the gaping multi-cultural hole that so many writers and publishers refuse to notice is there in this genre.

I haven't had enough of the Brown Family and can't wait to read more about those sisters and their huge personalities.

Life isn’t easy. Love isn’t easy. In the end they’re both pains in the ass but what I’ve learned in my old age (yes, my old old age of 30) is that laughter is pretty much the best medicine and it will get you through a lot of hard times. Laughter and love goes a long way and it heals you. Not completely, of course not, but enough to just give you that extra push.

Get a Life, Chloe Brown is a great example of this.

Chloe Brown is a woman of lists. Chronically ill and recently ailing from a near death experience she has come up with a new list to help her “Get a Life,”. Slash one off her list: moving out on her own.

After moving out she encounters her new apartment building’s handyman Redford ‘Red’ who somehow becomes entangled in helping her out with her list.

This is a love story of no other. One that involves gorgeous paintings, bike riding, and uncovering what makes two true opposites truly tick.

From the beginning I knew this book for me. Talia Hibbert tells a story that’s so wholly romantic yet funny that you’ll coo one moment and snicker with laughter the very next. Chloe Brown is prissy, eyeroll inducing, and completely relatable. This is a woman much about her shit and who she is and I for one commend her. I also love how we have a character who suffers from chronic pain and is very much I am in pain and I will not shy away from that fact. It’s so nice to see that representation especially in a black character.

Likewise Red is a great character as well with his past relationship issues. Everyone has a past. There’s good and there’s bad and Talia Hibbert does a great job in weaving it all together and keeping the story lighthearted and funny at the same time.

Plus, PLUS we have SMUDGE THE CAT.

I’ll be real. When I received this e-arc I was going through a bad breakup when I detested everything romance. I wanted nothing to do with happiness or love or anything resembling the goodness of couples. The thought made me cringe.

This book made me feel a way though. It didn’t make my feelings sink with despair or my heart ache. I was happy for Chloe and Red and felt hopeful for myself as well. Talia Hibbert is a talented author and does a great job with creating characters that while aren’t perfect are relatable and that’s what makes everything mesh so well.

As a person with a chronic illness who deals with symptoms like those that Chloe must face with fibromyalgia, I found this romance so satisfying. I am always looking for contemporary romances that reflect diverse backgrounds and experiences, and I was particularly excited to see invisible/chronic illness handled so carefully and kindly here.

“Love is certainly never safe, but it’s absolutely worth it.”

Chloe has a near death experience and sees her life flash before her eyes. She felt that the flashback showed there was little to be desired, and decided she had to make a change. In one of her many notebooks, Chloe made a “Get a Life List” with some very specific things to accomplish. These things would help her get a life, and start to experience her own. The first step was moving out of her families house.

Redford, Red, ran away from everything, a relationship, a career and friends. He escaped to something more controlled, to start over. His friend gave Red a place to stay and a job as the superintendent in his apartment building ... the same building where Chloe just got her own place.

To everyone around them, Chloe and Red seem to dislike each other. But neither can get the other off their mind. Red may be just the person to help Chloe complete her “Get a Life List”, and Chloe may be just the person Red needs to gain confidence and start painting again.

This book was so cute. I loved the variation of characters from you typical enemies to lovers rom com book. Chloe is not your typical heroine. Not only in physical features, but she also suffers from a chronic illness and is constant pain. But if those words weren’t written you wouldn’t know because she has so much sass and personality, which I loved. I also loved the positive body imagine throughout the book, it was a breath of fresh air in the rom com world ... and I am here for it.

Thank you Netgalley and Avon for an ARC copy to read and review.

This book is outstanding.

To begin: Chloe Brown almost died. But then she didn’t.

After her near-death encounter with a drunk driver, Chloe Brown decided to get a life. You see, a close examination of the one she had lived so far was not particularly impressive, so Chloe made a list.

Across the courtyard from her apartment is that of the building superintendent, Redford Morgan. Handsome and handy and heavily tattooed, Red only catches Chloe at her worst moments. Like when she’s watching him paint at night. Other than those stolen moments of watching Red work (he paints half naked, you guys), Chloe avoids Red, and Red avoids seemingly snobby Chloe, with her sharp, upper class accent and her apparent disdain towards Red, which he assumes can only be because of their class differences.

Until he comes upon her, stuck in a tree, rescuing a cat, and their attempts at avoidance fall apart. In exchange for helping her complete items on her Get a Life list, Chloe, a web designer, agrees to create a website for Red’s art as part of his determination to relaunch his art career. Their increased time together finds Red realizing that Chloe isn’t stuck up and mean; she’s just, and I quote, “a cute little hermit who hisses at sunlight”. Red also finds himself, quite unhappily to start, attracted to Chloe, whose upper-class background and occasional stand-offishness reminds Red of his abusive ex-girlfriend, Pippa. Red’s emotional task through the novel is to recognize that Pippa and Chloe are not the same person (they’re not even similar), but the way that Pippa treated him affected Red’s willingness and ability to trust that other people are not going to hurt him.

Chloe, too, is wary of others. It took years for her medical concerns to be taken seriously and in that time the landscape of her life changed extensively.

For Chloe, fibromyalgia has meant more than living with chronic pain, exhaustion, countless medications, and years of medical dismissal. It has also meant living largely without other people. Besides her chaotic and marvelous family, Chloe has been utterly left behind by friends and loved ones who either thought she was lying about being ill or disappeared from her life as the coping mechanisms she employed to survive the years of untreated illness changed her lifestyle.

For Chloe, her list isn’t just about getting things done: it’s about jump starting herself again, helping her learn to be brave. Getting, or building, a life once again.

This book is heavy, with two people who have plenty of reasons not to trust others learning to let another in. But it’s also cute and funny as fuck. Looking for a book to hand to a newish romance reader? Pick this one. As hilarious as it is heartbreaking, Get a Life, Chloe Brown is a fantastic way to show new readers all that contemporaries can be.

I personally have been having a hard time getting through contemporaries recently, due to a lot of “I’m-not-like-other-girls” main characters and forced quirkiness. Get a Life, Chloe Brown is charming without feeling heavy handed, and Chloe has idiosyncrises that feel natural, as opposed to attempts to make her more unique than everyone else in the whole world. People in the real world are strange and goofy, have weird habits and off beat interests, but I find that the ability to naturally represent those traits is a tricky one. Get a Life, Chloe Brown does it fantastically.

I appreciate that ability especially here because some of Chloe’s things are my things too, like laying on the floor when emotionally compromised (ask me about that time I cried under a table at my college library), the overall inability to deliver jokes that are recognizable as jokes, and sharing a lot of general characteristics with grumpy old men. Chloe prefers buttons on all of her clothes, despite her inability to always work them, because they “add a certain dignity to an outfit”. She has a hard time thanking people for helping her. She would rather be alone than run the risk of being abandoned.

Red (a literal redhead by the way) is big and tough, has “MUM” tattooed on his knuckles, and blushes when people say nice things to him. He sees a therapist when said mum tells him to. He spends a fair amount of time thinking about how attracted he is to Chloe’s ankles and has thoughts like: “He had the strangest idea that his virtue wasn’t safe around her, which was the single weirdest thought he’d ever had.” Then, later in the book, he offers to give her an orgasm, because, ya know, endorphins are natural pain killers. If it is not immensely obvious to you already, Red is one of my favorite contemporary heroes.

Watching Red and Chloe unfold for one another is achingly good, as is watching them stand up for one another, often to the other person. Much like real life, few things in this novel are easily solved. The end of the novel is full of the growing pains of two people learning how to be with each other and to be with themselves. These are some of the things I love most in romance. I love people knowing that they fit with one another, but still being in the process of fully embodying that. I love: I love you, and I am still working on me. Get a Life, Chloe Brown shines in this: the representation of love, both of the self and of the other, as something that has to be invested in, over and over, again and again.

Towards the end of the novel Red tells Chloe: “I’m working on it, and I hope…Well, I hope that’s enough.”

And while Get a Life, Chloe Brown has a further HEA than that, that is enough for Chloe, and it’s certainly enough for me.

4.5 Stars!

This book was such a sweet surprise. This new-to-me author was blown me away with her unique storytelling. I’m a fan for life.

Chloe Brown is such a beautiful and endearing character. Our heroine suffers from an illness that has her in a frequent state of pain. She takes regular walks and on one particular day, she has a near death experience that leads her to re-evaluate how she is living her life.
As a result she decides to cook up a list of things she thinks will make feel like she’s “living”.

One of those things to move out on her own and gain some dependence.
There, at her new apartment complex, she has less than pleasant encounters with the superintendent.
The strikingly good-looking Redford was such a sweet soul. He has his own hang ups and issues from his past. And the author did an amazing job handling just sensitive subject matter.

I loved the witty banter and the dry humor between Chloe and Red. They had me laughing so many times throughout reading this book.
They didn’t really get off on the right foot in the beginning. But I so enjoyed the natural progression of their friendship and the romance that developed between them. It was built up in such a beautiful way, even with all the tension that drove me bananas - I loved it.

They both had a lot of personal issues to dealt with quite a bit of bumps along the road. Through it all, they always amazed me with their maturity with which they handled with their shortcomings in the end.

I so enjoyed this book and I’d definitely recommend.

3.5 stars

Sexy and sassy rom-com with a few interesting twists: Main character Chloe Brown has fibromyalgia and the book provides a glimpse into what her daily challenges are. Chloe was an active and healthy young woman before the disease hit, and she has retreated into snide bitchiness after most of her friends disappeared in the face of her illness. She is determined to rise above that and after a transformative near-fatal experience has compiled a list to get her to re-engage with life.

The first step was moving out of her parents' house, so she has a flat of her own. Enter building superintendent Redford Morgan, who is also an artist who abandoned his art after a destructive and esteem-destroying relationship with a rich bitch. These two damaged souls have to try and overcome their baggage to appreciate what they can give each other.

Irrelevant side note: this is also the story of an interracial romance but doesn't seem to be a factor at all except for a one-sentence discussion. Is that how it works in real life?

Thanks to the publisher and to Net Galley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

Almost 5 stars!! I so loved this book! Chloe and Redford are such adorable characters. I just loved seeing them interact and their witty banter back and forth. The supporting characters (Gigi, Chloe's sisters, Smudge) were also fun as well. If you want a funny romance, definitely pick this one up!

Talia Hibbert knocks it out of the park with the first book in her new series, The Brown Sisters. It’s an utterly captivating and thoroughly entertaining enemies-to-lovers romance with unique, endearing characters and an authentic and heartwarming story. Chloe has a near-death experience and decides that she needs to get a life, and she makes a to-do list to accomplish her goals. She quickly tackles her first task and moves out of her parent’s house and immediately clashes with her building’s superintendent, Red. They both have reasons to be prickly and guarded, and they seem to bring out the worst in each other. But they call a truce after Red rescues a cat, and he agrees to help Chloe with her list. Their verbal sparring soon begins to heat up with rapidly escalating sexual tension as they get to know and develop feelings for one another. They both struggle to be vulnerable, and it’s breathtakingly romantic when they begin to drop their defenses down and confide in each other. I adore Hibbert’s ability to infuse vibrant humor and raw emotion into a story filled with light-hearted moments, gritty reality and sharp-eyed social observation, and her perceptive, nuanced storytelling is in a league of its own.

Get a Life, Chloe Brown is one of the best books I've read this year. You know when you read something and you're just so happy it exists? That's the feeling this book gave me. Loved it from start to finish.

The book opens with the heroine, Chloe, being several feet away from where a drunk driver crashes, and that kick-starts her list. Chloe is a website designer and has fibromyalgia, which controls a lot of what she is able to do. Please note this is set in the UK so there are no financial issues mentioned due to her medical treatment (though her family does have money). She moves into an apartment building where the superintendent is the hero, Redford, and promptly makes repeatedly bad impressions on him. Red was in a bad relationship with a woman who was quite wealthy previously and Chloe's accent and manner isn't helping in her favour.

Red is an absolute sweetheart of a hero. He is also stuck, but by choice, staying on as super in his friend's building even though it was supposed to be temporary. He is a painter and good at it (I really liked how matter of fact the book was about this). He is painting, but it's different, and while he has enjoyed some success previously he walked away from it.

Chloe and Red's relationship develops as he helps her with a few items on the list. She doesn't really have friends after they dumped her when her illness developed and she hasn't trusted since. So they're friends, and friends who reaaaaallly want to have sex, and it goes from there.

I don't want to say more because it's such a delight to let this novel unfold for the reader. I was constantly highlighting passages and wishing I could send heart-eyed emojis to the book. A must read for romance fans.

A cute book. There’s not much representation in books of people with chronic illness so it was a fun read and a cute love story about the processes we take to love ourselves. I’d recommend it.

This memorable romance sensitively handles challenging topics of chronic illness and abuse. Red and Chloe would individually be fantastic characters without the other in any book, but these characters as a combination are entirely steamy and swoonworthy. Chloe is learning to live on her own (and how to ask for help when she can't do everything), and Red is regaining confidence after an abusive relationship. These characters have to learn how to be sensitive to the other's needs, as well as getting to know each other and falling for each other. This book has been getting rave reviews, and they are well deserved.

Cute cute cute! This book deals with some heavy issues (chronic illness, recovering from an abusive relationship) but it's such a feel-good romp.

This was an utterly delightful read. The characters are dynamic and relatable, the banter is witty and humorous and most importantly it deals with chronic illness in such a realistic way. It shows Chloe's frustration being chronically ill and I'll be honest this might be a lot for some looking for an upbeat heroine, however I found it to be a realistic depiction of the ups and downs. It's not always pretty and motivational speeches/quotes do not always cut it. I liked Red's character because he was not only sweet but understanding. I was rooting for them all the way because they felt like people I would know.


I would recommend to those looking for a different kind of romance novel with a lot more heart.

Thank you, NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an advanced e-copy for an honest review.

This book was one of my most anticipated reads of the year and I can’t believe I got an ARC of this. The plot goes like this, Chloe Brown is a sophisticated woman who loves to make lists, who also happens to suffer from Fibromyalgia, and after almost dying she comes up with a “Get a Life” list. A list that consists of seven things she needs to do, so in comes “Red” the superintendent of her building who is good with his hands and kind of a soft-boy that blushes. He’s also a painter that needs a website, which happens to be Chloe’s line of work, so they decide to make an exchange, his website for his help on completing her list. Also, there’s a cat in the mixed people!

Something very interesting happened to me while I read this book, I found myself identifying with both characters in a very deep way. As an artist (writer) I couldn't help but to see myself in Red’s hesitation with showing his work; this is something that haunts me a lot, the feeling of something that you love not being good enough and it’s scary and paralyzing. While in other stances, as a diverse abled woman, I could relate with Chloe on so many levels, especially on her ideas about dating with a disability. I really hope to overcome some of my insecurities at some point in my life, I wish to find confidence just like Chloe and Red, to put myself out there, because I do believe that is worth it.

This book is funny and sexy! I was laughing so hard with the dialogues! I loved all the relationships in this book, from Chloe and her sisters to Red’s with Vik. Of course, I also love the sizzling chemistry between Red and Chloe, and their Oh-so-good banter had me giggling for days! God! And those emails! Too funny.

In terms of writing and structure, I loved reading this book so much, I felt the descriptions were really good really well done. The dialogues, like a mention, we're strong; good dialogues are my favorite part of a book and this book nail that. The character development was really good too and at a believable pace. I loved how these characters didn't grow because of each other but in relation to each other. I appreciated the treatment the author gives to the fibromyalgia disability, as someone who knows people with fibromyalgia, I feel this author knew very well what she was talking about. The author also draws attention to the very important topic of abusive relationships, especially on the male side, which is not something you don’t see a lot in literature, and I appreciated that too.

This is my first time reading anything from this author and I have to say that I'm impressed, this might be my favorite Romance book of the year so far and I don't think another one will top it. If you're looking for a fluffy, funny and sexy read, this must be the book for you. So, go ahead and get your copy on November 5th, I already ordered mine.

Book's release date: November 5th, 2019 by Avon

Thank you to HarperCollins and Netgalley for the advanced review copy of Get A Life, Chloe Brown! This was a delightful romance!

Chloe Brown wants to turn her life around. After living in chronic pain and then experiencing a brush with death, she decides to create a list of items that will make her life more interesting. In the process, she develops a relationship with her apartment handyman, Red. Red has some baggage of his own, and the two help each other face their emotional traumas with a healthy dose of steam as they embark on a cute love story.

This novel was funny, endearing, and diverse. I loved how Red recognized Chloe as a confident, strong woman when others found her weak and didn't care to understand her illness. Chloe's family was hilarious and their strong bonds were adorable! And one of my favorite cameos was Smudge, the cat.

I so enjoyed Get A Life, Chloe Brown! I can't wait for Talia Hibbert's next book!
