Get A Life, Chloe Brown (The Brown Sisters, #1)

by Talia Hibbert

[natpatreads]

This is one of those books that I enjoyed in spite myself. Now what do I mean by that:

1. I loved the characters! Chloe and Red were hilarious, and I shipped them throughout the entire book.
2. I enjoyed reading about a romance where a condition like Fibromyalgia played a factor. I thought that this book treated it quite well, and it made me think more about it and the effects that it would have on every day life. It was not just a “lack of communication” trope which is always overdone.
3. They discussed mental health and looked at ways to help each other (and also realized that just “love” and “support” isn’t always enough). You often do need to get help from other professionals.
4. Chloe is a full on computer geek and it is amazing.
5. Cats….just there are cats and I am so happy about it.
6. The sisters are the best.
BUT on the other side:

1. I almost wished I could see Chloe live her life without a relationship for even longer (I know…I know – I cannot just want to read a romance book without the romance. It kind of defeats the purpose).
2. It took me a while to warm up to Red – I definitely did, but it took some time.
3. (Me preference) I always prefer a book that has more about the relationship from an emotional and growth side of it. I am not a huge fan of “spice” in my books, and this one was just a little too much of it for my personal taste. (Again, I know that this is definitely a preference).

All -in-all this was a really good book. Any romance that I read in one day if nothing else has gripped my interest. (And I enjoyed the characters more at the end of the story than at the beginning and I didn’t feel like all the characters were always making the worst life choices – I’m looking at you any story inspired by Romeo and Juliet…can we just stop that?).
