New #review #GetaLifeChloeBrown by @taliahibbert This was such a fun, little enemies-to-lovers romp! The ease of reading, the humor, the compassion, the HEAT - Ms Hibbert hit all the buttons with this one and I had a hard time putting it down. It was exactly what I've been wanting lately. PLUS, finally, there's a heroine with a body built like mine that gets to be the recipient of a handsome man's love AND lust because we bigger ladies also deserve that! And while I don't suffer from fibromyalgia, I have a lot of lovely women in my life who do, and Chloe's experiences really reminded me of theirs. I can't wait to read the next one in the series! . . . . . #goodreads #Amazon #kindle #Bookbub #StoryGraph #iheartbooks #readingisfundamental #kindle #book #books #readallthebooks #booklover #bookworm #bookwrym #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booksofinstagram #booksbooksbooks #bookslover #read #reading #readersofinstagram #readmorebooks #readyourbooks #readabook #authorsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #booksarelife https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb10T09stc8/?utm_medium=tumblr

Hey all! It’s been awhile since I posted consistently and I’m sorry for that. Life has been very hectic and scary this past year, especially with the recent wild fires on the West Coast where I live. I’m still reading even if I’m not posting, though! Right now, I’m about halfway through Get A Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert and I love it so far! Chronic pain and fibromyalgia are somethings that run in my family and I’ve been learning how to cope with my chronic pain for a long time. It’s so nice to see representation like this that’s actually fairly accurate to what I and my family experience (not everyone has the same symptoms or side effects) while also making Chloe a strong person who knows herself and her body. Many books with disability rep that I’ve read generally make the person seem helpless or unable to take care of themselves and it just makes me so happy to be able to feel seen as someone who *can* take care of myself and my pain. Well, that’s enough about that! How have you all been during this pandemic? If you’re in an area suffering from natural disaster like I am, I hope you and your loved ones are safe and well! • • What sort of representation of yourself and your experiences do you want to see more of in the books you read? Do you have some favorites? Let me know! • • #bookish #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookishpost #bookstabuddies📚 #getalifechloebrown #taliahibbert #disabilityrepresentation #queerbookstagrammer #nonbinarybookstagrammer (at Corvallis, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFac2EIgIsP/?igshid=11sim037b4bty

It's the third day of the #hannahreadathon and I've read three books (Fires Of Vengeance, The Poppy War and Get A Life, Chloe Brown) and crossed off five prompts. My lowest rating has been four stars.

Get a Life, Chloe Brown Book Review

Hello fellow readers!

For February’s Galentine’s Day themed Lit Savant book club meeting we read and discussed Talia Hibbert’s Get a Life, Chloe Brown. When F. one of our members pulled this gem out I didn’t expect to be so enchanted by it. And it is these types of books that keep reading fun!

I’ve read romance novels before especially erotica but not something like this. What Hibbert did with this first installment in the Brown series is have a Black plus size British protagonist that is chronically ill and not the typical depiction of women in a romance novel. Having these things as a part of the central character’s identity is great and important for representation. And one of the reasons I was drawn to the book. The following are a couple of things I loved in the novel as a whole.

The first is, of course, the chemistry between Chloe and Red. As soon as both characters are in the same room it is apparent that they affect each other whether they like it or not: “the sound scrambled his mind, her crisp accent reminding him of people and places he’d rather forget.” (12). With just this one line it’s clear that Red has baggage, a past, and a connection to Chloe. A connection he isn’t necessarily interested in entertaining at the present moment but one all the same.

Chloe is also just as affected by Red as he is of her: “...like everything else about him, was too much for her to handle. Chloe didn’t do well around people like him; confident people, beautiful people, those who smiled easily and were liked by everyone and felt comfortable in their own skin” (27). Just from these lines, it’s obvious that Chloe is complicated and has her own baggage, past, and connection to Red. Like Red, Chloe believes that they are different perhaps too different from one another. They both make comments about differences in class, privilege, and personalities.

From the beginning, readers get the idea that Red is a nice guy. He’s a superintendent and he finds himself in social situations just because he doesn’t want to hurt the feelings of others. But on the other hand, readers experience just how sarcastic and biting he can be when infuriated by Chloe: “nice to see you’re still sweetness and light...teach those manners at finishing school, do they?” (15). This is when both Red and Chloe collide into one another in the hall and they both misunderstand one another. However, it does show that even though Red can be a sweet polite man he has teeth. And even though Chloe spends a lot of time denying their attraction to one another she likes that about him and vice versa.

The way the novel’s set up is done very well. Two characters that are so different and clearly know it, realize that they cannot stand one another. This leads to some very fun and titillating banter between the two. And that is another one of the great things about this book. It’s fun, light-hearted, and touching through the use of dialogue: “...are you going to help me or not? You do know how to charm a fella.” (46). Chloe impulsively decides to climb a tree to rescue a cat when she realizes she’s stuck. Red, of course, witnesses the whole debacle to Chloe’s chagrin. And even though Red finds Chloe abrasive he is drawn to her and gives everything she dishes out right back to her.

The tension between these two characters builds and builds until they finally get intimate. And to say they have sparks is an understatement. The sex scenes are passionate and will guarantee to have you paranoid on your commute. These moments are well written and steamy: “...and then it was gone, replaced by tendrils of pure pleasure that coiled around her limbs, tightening with each lazy lick” (215). Hibbert obviously knows what’s she doing. And it all goes well with the rest of the book. There are no awkward sexual moments in this book!

This all makes for an enjoyable and cute read. There were plenty of moments that I had to stop reading just to admire the way the story was making me feel. I felt enamored by it. It reminded me of what I love about a good romance story. Just like falling in love for the first time it’s fun, new, and exciting. One of my most favorite lines is when Chloe explains to Red why she watched him paint: “ you seem so vital. It was addictive. It felt like coming to life” (206). All good books feel like this. They are addictive to read. They make you feel like you too are coming to life.

Ever since reading this book, I realized that I had been denying myself good romance novel reads and have decided to read them more. They are just as every bit as important as a good nail-biting thriller and an evocative horror novel. I suggest you devour this book but you’ll be sad when it’s over!

My rating: 4.25

Keywords: Entertaining, fiery, and light-hearted.

P.S. Feel free to let me know of any hidden gems you’ve had the pleasure of reading.

Reading is definitely one of my preferred hobbies; I love getting lost within the pages of the book I currently have on the go, whiling away the hours and distracting me from the symptoms that are hounding me. One disappointment that I find with literature and the books I surround myself with is the failure to find any that reflects my life and experiences of living with chronic illness. All of which made me uncertain if, I or where I belong. This is why I absolutely loved #GetALifeChloeBrown by @taliahibbert. A chronically ill character, although not living with the same diagnosis I could relate and found myself nodding along as she dealt with the same problems and pitfalls as I have done living with #chronicpain. And best of all a chronically ill character that is not written as a tragic victim, or for #inspirationporn - and one who gets a happy ending, as happy endings can often feel like an impossible dream when constantly dealing with debilitating symptoms. Are there any other #fiction books that you have read and enjoyed that have touched upon the realities of chronic illness well? #spoonie #chronicillness #chronicpain #chroniclife #fiction #bookworm #chronicillnesswarrior #chronicpainwarrior #chronicallyill #wherethetiredgirlsare #chronicillnessawareness #chronicillnesslife https://www.instagram.com/p/Ccv0HNysOp-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A brief summary Dannika Brown doesn’t have time for love, her career is more important and anyway, these things never work out, so why bother?

Do you read romance? 📖💕 I took a break from adult romance books for a few years until about 2ish years ago, and I’m so glad that I got back into them! So many good romances have come out and I’m so happy to have been able to experience them with my fellow romance readers, including Act Your Age, Eve Brown by Talia Hibbert. 💙 My full review for Act Your Age, Eve Brown is now live on the blog (link in bio)! Hibbert is one of my favourite authors and I can’t wait to see what she’ll write next! Meanwhile, I’ll work my way through her backlist books that I haven’t read yet 😍 Thank you @hccfrenzy @harpercollinsca for a complimentary digital copy of Act Your Age, Eve Brown to read and review. 💙 [ID: A photograph of a white iPad laying face up on a white fur rug, which in turn is laid out over a dark wood floor. The iPad is displaying the cover image of Act Your Age, Eve Brown by Talia Hibbert.

I had to share this one again because I finished it last night and I absolutely LOVED it🥰 Not only did I appreciate reading about a character dealing with CFS (among other things) like me, but she was also trying to reclaim her life and take some risks something else I have been trying to do...then there was the hot, steamy romance that was so well written not only in the sexy parts😉, but also in the relationship building...I’m loving how #romancebooks are evolving to show what real relationships should be like, that there is no perfect, but there should be respect, honesty, and equality. This book left me feeling warm all over. Seriously #readthisbook It’s so good. I’ll be #reading this one over and over again. #bookstagram #bookgeek #bookworm #booknerd #getalifechloebrown #taliahibbert #booklove #bookish #bibliophile #bookaddict #bookaholic #bookaholicsanonymous #bibliotherapy #thebrownsisters #readersofinstagram #books #readmorebooks #brownsisterseries #read https://www.instagram.com/p/CM975OCLN3L/?igshid=vugrakk5ax8i

💕 Valentine’s Book Recs 💕 Hey bookfriends! It’s Fridaaaay and Valentine’s weekend! How’re you spending yours? 🥰 If you’re looking for some company this weekend because you’re a single gal like me, or maybe you’re separated from your other half with restrictions, I’ve got just the best gals to recommend you spend the weekend with! Yep, The Brown Sisters 💕 I adore Talia Hibbert’s The Brown Sisters. Both Chloe and Dani’s romantic endeavours are a joy to read and oh-so-steamy. But they’re way more than just chick lit romance. Get A Life Chloe Brown is one of my favourite book’s ever, if not *thee* favourite. Never has a book touched my heart and made me feel so understood and accepted like it. It’s an excellent and moving portrayal of what living with chronic pain can be like, in amongst hilarity and fluffiness. All of the sister’s stories made me smile, warmed my heart and left their mark to make it one of my favourite series 💗 I was extremely fortunate and beyond grateful to read an e-ARC of the final Brown Sister’s book, Act Your Age Eve Brown, at the end of 2020. I massively enjoyed Eve’s story and really appreciated what it explored and its representation. I’ve preordered my signed copy of Act Your Age, Eve Brown to complete my set from @wordsandkissesclub - don’t miss yours if you’re still to get it!! 💕 #getalifechloebrown #takeahintdanibrown #actyourageevebrown #bookrecommendations #bookstagram #bookreviewer #bookworm #booknerd #booklover #bookcommunity #readinglove #ukbookstagram #greatreads #prettybooks #valentinesday https://www.instagram.com/p/CLMw5OpAQ9b/?igshid=1euojftfnwqf

I'm really disappointed. I haven't read the book yet but my friend read my copy and said there were barely any "steamy" scenes.
