Get a Life, Chloe Brown: A Novel | 
pickAs a person who tends to read 'just about everything except for romance' I would recommend this to others looking to keep an open mind and give the genre a try. Sure, some of the romance tropes were present but despite some cliches I found this overall very entertaining! Good representation, character development, steamy scenes, as well as scenes that made me laugh and some I even found surprisingly relatable. Looking forward to the next 2! π€
Right @PuddleJumper I'm not allowed to edit 2023's #roll100 list any further! Hoping by posting this I can fully commit to this list π I reckon I've edited it about 10 times lol!
pickChloe Brown has a βGet a Lifeβ list that she thinks her landlord Redford βRedβ Morgan can help her with. The more time they spend together, the more their feelings for each other continue to grow. Will Chloe take a chance on Red?
This book was so cute. The characters were well-written and so was the plot. It was also humorous. I would definitely recommend this book.
Thought I‘d try something new for Friday. It‘s #FridayImInLove! This week, name a romance novel with a cat! Featuring my girls, Boots (left) and Lorelei. Feel free to join in, romance readers and cat lovers! #romantsy #catsoflitsy
pickA delightful story of discovery of self and the romantic other. Chloe and Red are two very different and emotional bag handlers who are both sweet and innocent at the same time. The insight into self reflection is tasteful and on point while revealing their honest vulnerabilities which keeps the reader cheering on this unlikely pair as they navigate self image, family issues, and personal failures. Lovely read.
Finally have gotten around to Get A Life, Chloe Brown. I am really enjoying the audiobook so far.

Missed yesterday‘s #bookmoods challenge so here it is! This is on my night stand. I heard it‘s funny, but idk I haven‘t read it yet!
pickI loved that the main character has fibromyalgia. I have fibro myself and it was a realistic look at the illness. (Though it can present differently for everyone.) This was sweet. I loved the characters journey in self awareness. It was definitely more spicy than I expected given the cover, but it didn't overwhelm the story for me. I loved this and will read more by the author.
so-soI didn‘t find myself engrossed with this story. It was cute but something about it didn‘t keep me that interested. βοΈβοΈβοΈ
so-soI liked how main characters had troublesome pasts and one of them was living in pain. There were also interesting secondary characters - several scenes with them would have kept things more hilarious.
I really enjoyed the beginning of the book but the story started to loose it's magic at some point - drama at the end felt unnecessary.
This was overall cute & entertaining story.

Will & Valentine Murder in progress.
so-so#UnpopularOpinion I wasn‘t a fan of this rom-com romance. First it wasn‘t really funny, second it didn‘t feel like a romance. It was definitely STEAMY but not in a sweet romantic way. Chloe suffers from chronic pain ( and I appreciated the author highlighting the mental & physical limitations this causes the person) & in a way to take ownership of her life she creates a bucketlist of sorts. Enter Red, her hunky building maintenance man ππΌ
So many fabulous reviews for this one but it‘s still in the #MoreMehThanYeah category for me π€·πΌββοΈI do LOVE the audio reader, she‘s GREAT π #pop22 #BoardGameInTitle #Hoopla #BookSpin @TheAromaofBooks
Just finished Get A Life, Chloe Brown. Now on to the next one since it was so good!!!!

Making Valentine's Day gift bags for my 4 yr old's class while listening to the tagged book.
Also I think this book could go for this month's #BookedByHoliday. It's not Valentine's, but it is love.
@ElizaMarie @AsYouWish @jb72
Started this yesterday. I am really enjoying it. Didn't realize that it was adultish! haha
pick4.5β This was the first novel I finished this year and it was really good! I liked it a lot even though it didn't quite reach 5 stars for me.
My first reads of 2022! I read my first #NewYearWhoDis book and the first two books of the Brown sisters series. I'll try to have reviews up today!
My last #bookhaul of 2021 π #HappyNewYear everyone! ππβ€οΈβ€οΈ

pickI didn‘t read this series in the correct order. This was the first and my last. There are only 3 Brown sisters so the series is done. I really love them and their love matches. They have real life problems, living their lives and finding love. It‘s delightful, incredibly steamy at times but you‘re just so happy for the characters. I really enjoyed this series and am a little sad there isn‘t another book to read. So glad I stumble upon this series.
bailedI‘ll admit the tagged book was not my jam. Not romancy enough, though it may just not have been the right time to read it.
@cwarnier @Bookwormjillk your #lmpbc are going in the mail today! Thanks for a lovely round!!
so-so3βοΈ Cute story but not anything great. Listened to the audiobook and wasn‘t feeling the narrator‘s voice so had a hard time staying focused. Thought the fibromyalgia storyline was handled well.

pickI‘d heard so much about this series but was slightly disappointed. Chloe is chronically ill but makes a list of things to do to help her βGet a life‘. Introducing Red-the opposite of Chloe who becomes the man to help her tick off her list.
A cute, sweet story which was interesting to see how Red was attentive/tender to Chloe‘s condition. A predictable ending but an enjoyable journey along the way.

1. Tagged. About half way through.
2. My mum always does a Halloween party for the grandchildren
3. Having 3 days off now to enjoy half term with my girlsπ
pickOh my god, this book is so good! The perfect amount of steamy, emotional, brokenness, hopefulness, sarcasm, loveliness! Chloe and Red are beautifully imperfect and simultaneously perfect together. βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ

Once upon a time Chloe Brown died. Nearly.
A great first line π―
pickEnjoyed this book so much. Started reading second book and getting ready to move on to the third. Perfect mix of romance, humor, sex.
#lmpbc @Annie1215 it came! In other news munchkin was exposed to covid at daycare and now has to quarantine. Freaking covid.
pickFinished my #lmpbc book for the month. I had tried to start this once a while ago and didn‘t get in to it.
I‘m glad I gave it another chance. The chemistry between the characters absolutely makes this one.
Sending it on its way in the next few days!
#bookspinbingo
I read this book over the summer and it was so cute! I am now into the third book of the series, and I love it just as much as #GetALifeChloeBrown. #Books #Romance
pickThis was very cute and heartwarming. I loved the way chronic illness is honestly depicted, as well as the trauma from previous abusive relationships. The story felt very real and yet the characters were so loving. They made mistakes but figured out how to work through it. I am definitely looking forward to reading the rest of the Brown sisters' stories.
"Too high on each other to care that they were being obnoxious."
Oh, I miss my friends ?
I am doing a reread via audiobook and Chloe and Red are SO CUTE I WILL DIE
The print book killed me, the audio has also killed me
So happy these beauties are here! π
#illumicrate
I just received these from Illumicrate and they are beautiful. Also amazing little notes from the author in each book. Love these books, love to have this special edition. FYI I think they are still available for fellow Brown sisters fans!
#bookmail today!
Get a Life, Chloe Brown arrived from @cwarnier for #lmpbc β€οΈππ
Also, I won a copy of Build Your House Around My Body through a Goodreads giveaway and it arrived today. π I never win GR giveaways so I‘m very excited about this one! And I love all the different pattens in this cover.
pickI really enjoyed this book. Seeing Chloe and Red dance around each other at the beginning, and then hit it off hard and then fall apart and come back.
I as a bit nervous when in the beginning there was a warning about abusive relations, but it was just in Red's past.
I was glad to see that Chloe was able to make her βbucketβ list, and as life changed she was able to adapt and chance. I can't wait to read book #2.
#lmpbc @MeganAnn @Annie1215 @BethM
I am done! I will review when I get home, and send off soon.
#lmpbc @MeganAnn @Annie1215 @BethM
Vacation vibes.
Ok ladies, this moth has been a bit crazy. I am about 3/4 of the way done and should be able to finish up today or Sunday.
Hope you are all enjoying summer.
pickThis is a fun book to get lost in if you don't want to think too hard and don't get mad at colorful love metaphors. It's very over the top, somewhat predictable and very descriptive. I love that the main character has a chronic pain condition that we see her struggle and live with. For anyone who has struggled with chronic pain, the representation matters. If you're looking for an easy romance read, I'd recommend this.
pickA sweet, romantic story of finding love. Chloe Brown suffers from fibromyalgia. She decides to make a list of things she wants to do to help her feel brave and strong. Along comes Red, the superintendent/artist to the rescue! I chuckled throughout my read, and that made me happy. #blameitonlitsy
I took this image from Pinterest.
pickI liked this steamy romance (don't let the cutesy cover fool you) because both of the leading characters were realistically, endearingly messed up. It was original because Chloe's chronic pain was portrayed so well that I could relate. The charactes seemed like real people and I liked Red.
Starting this series tonight.
#Lovers #CuriousCovers I don‘t read a lot of romance but I enjoyed Chloe Brown and want to read the other two.
