Review: Get a Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert
I had a really good time reading this book! I had the ARC for months, but grad school and upheaval of my regular routine made me read way less, I picked up this book on a total whim, and I am so happy I did.
This is an adult romance, not my usual genre, but one I totally need to read more of, that balances fun and serious perfectly. Chloe Brown is a chronically ill rich black woman living on her own for the first time after nearly being run over by a car, that experience makes her want to "get a life" because the life flashing before her eyes was very uneventful. Redford Morgan, Red, is her massive ginger landlord who is relentlessly cherry and has a traumatic past. They butt heads, build a friendship, and become achingly into each other.
This book deals with past abusive relationships, chronic pain, race, and class. I hadn't read many books that deal with chronic pain and really found the representation of that element of Chloe's life very interesting and well done.
Get a Life, Chloe Brown is also wonderfully light-hearted and funny! And its a romance, it totally delivers on the romance.
This is the first of three novels following the Brown sisters, and I am beyond excited for the next two books.
I gave this book 5 stars on Goodreads and finished it on December 31, 2019, making it my last off of the year!
