A Rom-Com for Real People submitted by granumm on July 15, 2020, 10:53am Finally, we have a love story about a disabled woman of color who is living her life. Chloe, Red, and the whole Brown family are the romantic comedy characters who you might actually know in your real life, and you want to cheer them on as they try to find their happy ending.

Perfect Summer Read submitted by Elizabethreads on July 27, 2020, 1:49pm This is the first rom-com I've read with a heroine living with chronic illness, and the representation and love story were so good. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.

I love it submitted by laursanc6 on June 24, 2021, 5:08pm ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED! I love this book so much. I wasn't sure if I was going to like Chloe because her snooty (not sure if this is the right word for her this) attitude wasn't really my vibe but she grew on me so quickly. Everything about this book is right up my alley. It has the banter, the romance, the spice, the self growth oh yes please!!!! I loved Hibbert's writing style and I laughed out-loud multiple times which was a delight. I think I have found a new favorite author and I can't wait to read more from her! I loved every moment between Red and Chloe but I especially loved Red. I want a Red in my life please. I can't say enough good things about this book so I'm just going to keep this short and say read this freaking book!

First in the Brown Sister series submitted by pamhockey25 on September 2, 2021, 2:12pm Chloe Brown has her share of challenges - she is in almost chronic pain from fibromyalgia then one day she is almost run over by a car and flashes to her obituary. She realizes she needs to live a little. Chloe sets out to do just that. The first step was to make a list of things that she wants to experience, then she moves into her own apartment and starts checking things off. Soon she meets Red, and I loved the way their relationship developed.

Great romance with fully-realized characters submitted by Susan4Pax -prev. sueij- on June 18, 2022, 11:39pm What a delightful story! I hadn’t realized or remembered the degree to which this was genuinely a romance, as opposed to simply a work of fiction that happened to include a relationship aspect in the story. But it holds up either way – it’s delightful as a romance that is well-rounded as a real story, or as a fully-fleshed story that has a steamy romance. Chloe is one of the more fun and interesting characters I’ve been inside the heads of in recent reading. Hibbert does an amazing job bringing her to life, making her real, and keeping her sympathetic (in the sense that we’re on her side, without leaving us feeling sorry for her). Highly recommended, particularly if you know what you’re getting into when I say “romance.”

Delightful submitted by mintaroni on June 21, 2022, 11:03am A delightful rom com for anyone still coming out of their shell. Wonderful summer read that makes you believe in love again. Also good and spicy ;)

i like the other books in the series more submitted by gw on August 27, 2023, 1:33pm I couldn't get into this book as much as the books about her sisters. The plot dragged at points and the stubbornness of the characters was annoying to wait through. But, I do appreciate main characters with realistically depicted disabilities and mental/emotional struggles, and who aren't all white.
