Rating: Five stars! ๐๐๐๐๐

This was my first book from Talia Hibbert and I totally understand why everyone raves about her work. Her writing was like curling up with a fuzzy blanket and watching a delightful British rom-com.
I wasnโt sure how I felt about Chloe Brown until halfway through the book. The first part was very slow burn with lots of character building. The scenes where Chloe and Red werenโt on the page together had me questioning a few times if I liked it. But somewhere around 55-60% I fell totally in love with them and this story ๐ญ
I love reading about characters with chronic illnesses, but Iโm always a tad worried authors wonโt get the representation right. Granted I have cystic fibrosis and not fibromyalgia, but Hibbert totally nailed living with a chronic illness in general. The accurate descriptions of spoons/spoonie theory especially had me cheering (for example today I woke up with very few spoons, thus why this is only a mini review ๐) I identified a little too much with Chloe and her skeptical grumpiness. The way Chloeโs family and Red treated her was so well done.
I love love loved the chemistry between Chloe and Red. So many delightful swoon moments! The healing that both characters experience through the book made it impossible not to love them. I cried a couple of times ๐ญ Iโm so glad I finally read this one, but I cannot wait to read Dani Brownโs book! Iโm planning to read it soon and Iโm *very* excited ๐ Kellisa
