Get a Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert is an entertaining romance with, not so much quirky characters as, a quirky author with an entertaining way of telling a story. Chloe is in her mid-twenties, lives with her family, has a small trust fund, is a tech guru, and has fibromyalgia, which makes her totally miserable. After a close call with a careening automobile, Chloe decides it is time for her to grow up and get her own life. She starts, the way she always starts, by making a list. Next she accomplishes the next thing on her list, which is to move out. As it happens she selects an apartment house with a superintendent, Redford Morgan, who annoyed her. To be truthful, most everything annoyed her as her disease left her very short tempered. Red was annoyed by Chloe as well, but intrigued. Chloe looked out her living room window only to discover Red painting, on a canvas, with not shirt on. This view soon became one of her favorite pastimes, until he noticed her. One thing led to another and soon they were "seeing" each other.

Not to disparage fibromyalgia, but when Chloe got involved, with from having something else to focus on, or seeing herself through someone else's eyes, the symptoms seemed to lessen. The Same for Red, whose "disease" had been misplaced guilt and a lack of self-confidence. Both seemed to dissipate as he spent time with Chloe. This was really a pretty average story with pretty average people, but the way it was told made it extraordinary. It is truly difficult to describe why. When I began reading I thought is was just another author trying to write a quirky character, which is difficult. It took a while for me to realize that it was the writing that was quirky, not the character. It was fun to read, fun to grow with Chloe and Red, fun to explore the growth of each of them within the relationship. I loved it. I want you to read it and love it, too.

Thank you, NetGalley and the publisher for giving me an ARC ebook of this book in exchange for my honest review. Hilarious, steamy, romantic...just what I needed in thee serious times. Romance is often not my thing, but this version was so fun that now I want to read Talia Hibbert's other books. If super-steamy offends you, you may want to give this one a hard pass.

Get a Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert is an excellent contemporary romance that is the first book in a new series: The Brown Sisters.

I really enjoyed this novel. It was witty, romance, banter, and definitely chemistry. The author did a great job balancing between light-heartened humor and dialogue and serious undertones. I really enjoyed the main characters: Chloe Brown and Redford Morgan. Both were imperfect but that makes them both realistic, likable, and relatable. There was clearly chemistry and heat radiating off the pages at times. I also enjoyed their respective transformations as the novel unfolded.

I really liked this book and I am looking forward to reading the next book that focusses on Dani.

5/5 stars
