Book Review: Get A Life Chloe Brown By Talia Hibbert
Chloe Brown is a technology savvy 31 year old black woman who manages a chronic illness that restricts her ability to live her life fully. After a near death experience, Chloe creates and sets to complete a seven point list that challenges her to step out of her comfort zone and do things she’s never done before in hopes of getting a new lease on life.
Chloe decides to enlist the help of her very attractive tattooed handyman and quasi-nemesis, Redford, by offering to help him with a project of his own if he agrees to help her with her list. With Chloe’s list including tasks such as ‘camping’ and ‘do something bad,’ what could go wrong, or right, depending on how you look at it.
This is the first installment of ‘The Brown Sisters’ series. Between Chloe and her shared thoughts about the affects of her invisible illness and Redford strutting his long red hair and internal dialogue detailing his angst about his life’s direction, Talia Hibbert introduces two characters we often do not encounter in romance novels and I was here for it.
I thoroughly enjoy reading stories that put women of color, especially black women, as genuine and relatable leads. I appreciate this idea that one is never too anything to challenge themselves to try something new or ask for help from the most unlikely of sources to accomplish a life’s goal.
Please give this adorably real, steamy at times, modern romance novel a read and prepare to root for Chloe and Redford from the sidelines of the pages.
