“Do something bad.”  I would not have guessed looking through a window would be construed as something bad but this whole novel was written in a different manner.  I’m not a romance novel reader but I enjoyed the fun quirky side of this rom-com.  Chloe makes herself a list to start changing her life.  She enables the help of her sexy superintendent named Red.  I enjoyed the fun banter between them but found the crude language that was sprinkled throughout was not a good fit with the overall vibe of the book and it turned me off.  Would not really recommend.

This is a sweet love story about two people with trust issues. While I loved Red from the start, despite having problems believing he was as good as he was, I had a hard time warming up to Chloe. I did come to like her a bit better as the book progressed, but I can’t say that she’s my favorite.

Chloe Brown, a Black woman, has issues: health, physical, social, trust, self-confidence, and others. She comes to the realization that she doesn’t have much of a life, that she needs to find one. That inspires her to leave her family’s home and move to her own flat, on her own. Given her health issues, that’s a major decision, but move she does. Her sisters, Eve and Dani, keep an eye on her and make sure she has food and support. Her grandmother is willing to offer advice whenever needed.

Red, the superintendent of the building where Chloe lives, a Caucasian man, is also an artist. His former girlfriend left him wounded and wary. But he’s a good man, a caring man, who makes sure that his diabetic mother is doing well. That caring and concern also draws him to Chloe.

Chloe is incredibly sarcastic; it’s a defense mechanism. But Red sees through it. Once the two of them get past the basic trust issues, Red agrees to help Chloe find that life she’s looking for. He agrees to help her tick items off of her bucket list. Along the way, they fall in love. Of course, there will be rocky spots in that relationship, but they persevere.

”Life hurts,” he said fiercely. “It’s unavoidable. But I know the difference between torture and   growing pains.”

Red and Chloe, with help from family and friends, work through the growing pains. In the process, the find each other, and Red finds his way back to his career.

A nice book. I enjoyed it; although, I wasn’t very fond of Chloe and had a hard time believing that Red was all that he was. I liked Chloe’s sisters and grandmother very much.

This is the first book in a series. It’s followed by Take a Hint, Dani Brown and Act Your Age, Eve Brown. I don’t know that I’m excited to read these two books, but I’m not saying I won’t.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher through Netgalley. I thank them for their generosity, but it had no effect on this review. All opinions in this review reflect my true and honest reactions to reading this book.

It was nice seeing a disabled person have the spotlight for once. I know several people with invisible diseases such as Chloe’s who deal with pain on a daily basis. Red was a great leading man, one of the best male characters I’ve read about lately.

I heard a lot of great things about this book so I was excited for the opportunity to read it. Unfortunately, I did not connect with either of the characters in the book after reading a couple of chapters. Did not finish.

Get a Life, Chloe Brown is a fun rom-com read! Chloe Brown has fibromyalgia and feels like her pain has been keeping her from enjoying life. So she decides she is going to make a list of things she wants to do to “get a life.” After checking off the first thing on her list—moving out on her own—she meets the cute superintendent of her building and develops a crush that she tries desperately to avoid. As they get to know each other, the sparks fly and Chloe finally begins to get a life! I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading the next two in the series!

I REALLY liked this book! It was sweet and tender, and very very steamy. I loved the banter between Red and Chloe. I loved how they were adults with issues just like everyone else. I love how there were cute and funny moments but it did not feel like some rom-coms where the author makes the main characters do ridiculous things for the sake of laughs. I love that mental and emotional health was a huge theme in this book, and how well it was woven into the story of both characters. I love that they author took the usual British rom-com trope and turned it on its head. Our "girl" is posh, and wealthy . . . and Black. Our "boy" is the one who comes from a working class family and has, what seems at first, the heaviest emotional baggage, that gets in the way of him falling in love. I love, however, that neither of them had the awful, judgmental, classist mother that is so common in this genre. They had healthy relationships with their mothers, and their extended families. I loved how they talked through their misunderstanding. I also love that this book was just about Chloe and Red. So many books these days seem to be written with such a strong emphasis on the female friendship bond that the romance part of the book seems to be an afterthought. Not this book. Yes, Chloe's sisters do make appearances, but they don't take the focus away from Chloe and Red. I love how the author gave as much emotional depth to the male character as she did to Chloe. I love that Chloe is Black and suffers from a chronic medical condition and it all feels effortless and an organic part of the story, not forced. I love that there are discussions of how men are also victims of emotional and physical abuse in romantic relationships. I love Red's tenderness and vulnerability. I love that this book was not set in London, but neither was it set in a small town. I just love this book and will definitely be reading everything else written by Talia Hibbert.

Chloe Brown has got some health conditions that may cause her some difficulties, but she’s taking charge of her life and crossing things off of her “list”.  She’s going to need some help though, and that’s where Red...the superintendent of the apartment complex she lives in will come in handy.

Chloe is a quirky, damaged character that has lived in her family’s mansion for a touch too long. After an almost near death experience, she realizes that her existence isn’t *really* living, so she writes a list of 7 things she’d like to experience: get drunk, go camping...you get the idea.

Red is an artist, but he’s not keen on sharing his work. Unbeknownst to him, Chloe’s been watching him paint. One thing leads to another and a friendship is born.

These characters are very well written. Both have scars and secrets, and both turn out to be good for each other. A very enjoyable book.

I do think this book lived up to the hype! Romance novels are still not my genre, but I had to find out what all the fuss was about. I adored the characters - they are well-rounded and surprising. I felt that the tension broke just a little too early for me; this is not exactly a "slow burn" book. I may or may not continue reading the other sisters' tales, but the author is definitely deserving of her popularity!

I loved this book!!  It was fun and sexy.  The banter between the main characters was great and well written.

I have seen such great reviews on how funny this book was and was a little nervous it wouldn’t live up to the hype. No worries needed. This story is funny as long as you are not easily offended. It is full of dry humor and witty comments back and forth between Chloe and others.
The main character Chloe is the most awkward person is an understatement. She finally moves out of the family home and starts to try to “live” her life in her thirties. She has been eyeing the neighbor for a while but was prompted to talk to Red until she tries to rescue a cat from a tree. The relationship between them is hilarious. Can’t wait to read the next in the series. 

Thank you Netgalley and Avon books for a copy in exchange for an honest review.

Thirty one year old Chloe Brown, web designer, was almost hit by a car on her daily walk.  She suddenly realized that because of her fibromyalgia chronic pain, she had stopped doing most things.  So she made a list and started with moving into her own apartment .
Redford Morgan, tattooed, red headed artist and temporary superintendent  of the building that Chloe moved into, was also redefining his life.
As circumstances bring them together, Chloe decides to ask Red to help her with some of her list and in return she would design a web page to showcase his art.
A surprisingly delightful, feel good and steamy rom-com with engaging characters and snappy dialogue, but it also delves into serious aspects of their lives that they need to come to terms with.
Thank you Harper Collins and NetGalley for this e-copy of " Get a Life, Chloe Brown".

Get a life is the main theme of this story about a Chloe who has many issues but  one of the most interesting is the chronic pain element.  I would imagine this spot lights a health issue that doesn't often come up in current romantic stories.  The idea that non traditional romantic comedy characters can live their best life and find happiness is a definite positive but I sometimes also got bogged down with the pain descriptions and her management of those issues.  It is a very fine balancing act to get the health issues accurately portrayed but not
let them take over the story.  The dialog was very well done, which is always one of the great part of stories set in Great Britain.  An enjoyable read of nontraditional characters finding someone to enhance their own life.

Witty banter and a colorful cast of characters made this book such a fun read! Chloe Brown is a relatable heroine struggling with chronic health problems. In an attempt to "get a life", she decides to make some changes in her play it safe world. 
This humorous, life affirming love story is the perfect read to lift your spirits. I'm looking forward to seeing what's next for the Brown sisters!
*Thank you NetGalley, William Morrow Marketing and Talia Hibbert for the opportunity to read this charming book!

This was a bit of a predictable book, but I really enjoyed the characters.  Red was so good, he really warmed his way into your heart.  Chole was such a strong character despite what she dealt with health wise on a daily basis.  I think this book was a bit of a love story for those suffering from fibromyalgia.  This is a sweet, easy to read love story.   I think that I will probably pick up Chole's sisters books to finish out the series.

Thank you to William Morrow and NetGalley for this copy.  All opinions expressed are my own.

Chloe got the raw end of the stick in life.
She’s in constant pain from all her medical ailments.
She’s kind of an odd ball.
She’s had some emotional baggage but she’s determined to “get a life”.
She makes a list.
Insert the gorgeous neighbor, the superintendent of the building they both live in.
Red, a painter, has issues as well.
They trade favors - he will help her do things and she will make his website.
What they don’t plan on is love!

Chloe Brown is living on her own for the first time.  She suffers from chronic pain after an accident many years before.  In Chloe's experience people never stick around when the going gets tough so she doesn't really make an effort to get to know people.

Red Morgan is recovering from a broken heart after dating a heartless gaslighter.  He is the superintendent of the apartment building Chloe where Chloe lives. None of his interactions with Chloe have been positive but he still finds her very attractive in a standoffish kind of way.

One day Red rescues Chloe after she climbs into a tree to rescue a cat.  Neither can deny the attraction they feel but can that attraction overcome all of the emotional baggage that they each carry.

Though the plot is good I found the dialogue between the two characters to be childish even as they explored their feelings for each other and about their past hurts.  I don't really understand why so many people raved about this book.

🎉 Book Review 🍻
📖: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ~ I loved Chloe! She is a great balance of peculiar, nerdy, naive, and witty, despite being chronically ill. She makes a list of seven tasks she believes will help her “get a life” once she checks them off with one of her many fancy pens. Along the way, she decides that accomplishing these tasks will require help from her apartment complex’s sexy superintendent, Red. The story that follows is emotional and funny, filled with excellent banter that will keep you laughing out loud. Thank you @bookclubgirl for this Free Friday read!
🍺: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ~ I was hoping to pair this book with a Cherry Sour ale in honor of the nightclub scene, but instead, I’m going with Cranberry Ginger Fizz, in honor of Red, the delicious ginger who steals Chloe’s heart! Thank you @talkbooknerdytome for sharing this delicious brew!

I enjoyed the relationship between Chloe and Red but the writing to me seems like two different authors. Their relationship and interactions were so nice to follow but then the intimate scenes so completely opposite of that. I’d say 3.5 stars really as I did enjoy it and was invested in the outcome.

I received a free book from. Netgalley. What an enjoyable story!! I loved Chloe and can imagibe there's quite a few people out there like her! 
Thank you for this enjoyable book!!

I typically don't read romances but every once in a while, I need a break from the thrillers I usually read and I got this book for free via NetGalley, so I thought I would try it.  Chloe, Red, Gigi, and the sisters were all quirky characters.  I like quirky so I was drawn in immediately.  I also don't know anyone with fibromyalgia so I was also drawn in to learning about the daily life of someone with this affliction.  Those were all good things.  After that, I would say the story left a little to be desired.  I am all for a plot of "will they, won't they".  Isn't that what the Ross and Rachel storyline was about for much of Friends?  But truly, after only about a third of the book, it was pretty obvious where it was going and with each page that went by, I said "please, just shag and get it over with".  I did like a lot of the author's descriptions of things.  I would say she has a good ability to depict mind-blowing moments with flowery language and I liked that.  I might be persuaded to give the story 4 stars but for the crude language that was sprinkled throughout.  I am not a prude and can handle sexual language but you can use words that are not as base as some of them used in this book.  In the end, they got together and I am all for a happy ending.
