Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
💕
I love Adjoa Andoh narrations, after listening to The Thing Around Your Neck. She did a great job of narrating this book, and it made reading a lot more fun for me.
💕
The first book in The Brown Sisters series, this was such an amazing and fun read. I’m slowly easing my way back into the chick lit, romance, and women’s fiction genres, and books like this make me know I’m doing the right thing. This was my first Talia Hibbert book, and it definitely wasn’t the last because I read “Take a Hint, Dani Brown” immediately after finishing this one. This book and the author were THAT GOOD!
💕
There were a number of serious issues tackled in this book, one of which was Chloe’s illness. However, the author was able to write it in the story in a way that didn’t make light of the condition and that’s a definite plus. The characters in this story were so great and well written, especially the main characters, Chloe and Red. Chloe’s family members were an awesome addition and I loved reading their parts.
💕
The plot and the story – OMG soooooo good and so cute. We get to see Chloe and Red go from people who couldn’t stand each other in the beginning slowly go from nemeses to friends to something more. They got to know each other, and during the process of learning more about each other, they both realized they had judged the other wrongly. It was told in two POVs – Chloe’s and Red’s. I loved that because we get to see and feel events as they both see and feel them happening.
💕
Overall, this was such a good book and I loved it so much!

Blurb/ Synopsis:
Chloe Brown is a chronically ill computer geek with a goal, a plan, and a list. After almost—but not quite—dying, she’s come up with seven directives to help her “Get a Life”, and she’s already completed the first: finally moving out of her glamorous family’s mansion. The next items?
• Enjoy a drunken night out.
• Ride a motorcycle.
• Go camping.
• Have meaningless but thoroughly enjoyable sex.
• Travel the world with nothing but hand luggage.
• And… do something bad.
But it’s not easy being bad, even when you’ve written step-by-step guidelines on how to do it correctly. What Chloe needs is a teacher, and she knows just the man for the job.
Redford ‘Red’ Morgan is a handyman with tattoos, a motorcycle, and more sex appeal than ten-thousand Hollywood heartthrobs. He’s also an artist who paints at night and hides his work in the light of day, which Chloe knows because she spies on him occasionally. Just the teeniest, tiniest bit.
But when she enlists Red in her mission to rebel, she learns things about him that no spy session could teach her. Like why he clearly resents Chloe’s wealthy background. And why he never shows his art to anyone. And what really lies beneath his rough exterior…
